American Friends of the Episcopal Church of Sudan (AFRECS) is an organization of U.S. churches, non-governmental organizations, and individuals who care deeply about the struggles of the Sudanese people.

AFRECS hopes to enhance communication and minimize duplication between dioceses, parishes, and church wide agencies already committed to resettling Sudanese in the USA and to working as partners with dioceses and other Anglican institutions in Sudan. AFRECS will also solicit new support for Episcopal Church of the Sudan programs of peace-building and advise North American donors on effective ways of delivering support, including collaboration with U. S. government, international, and nongovernmental relief and development agencies.  This network hopes to amplify the voices of Sudanese Christians and through prayer to catch the movement of the Holy Spirit within both our churches.
