This week my team and I were struck again at how Satan continues to have a grip on the nation of Uganda. Please pray that the people will truly seek God. Here are a few of our latest prayer requests...
1. Newborn baby, Ruth, who was half buried alive. Some children found her and thought she was a chicken, so they were poking her. But then they realized she was a baby and she is now trying to regain health and strength at the orphanage. Pray that the mother will not be so desperate when Ruth is returned to her.
2. Three pastor's and families have lost one of their children and they are beginning to question the existance of God. Pray for comfort and peace.
3. Some of the families in Obalanga are hoping to get hold of some goat and roosters for a sacrificial cleansing of the land after the dead bodies have been removed. Witch craft is still very prominant and pray that God's Spirit will reign and shine brightly.
4. Malaria has affected a few of my close friends lately. Pray for renewed health and strength.
5. Pray for the poverty in our area. Crops were destroyed again by the burning sun this year and families are going without food. Some people tried to get ahead by actually optaining seeds and land, only to have the peanuts burn, and then they feel like they are worse off than before. Help us to have wisdom in knowing how to help, encourage, and support our neighbours.
Thanks for joining me in prayer.
Hi Karen,
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, belatedly! I am just catching up on some of your news from Africa. You have experienced things that I cannot imagine. Wow.
What an adventure you have followed God on, and such a journey of faith. God bless you and pour in his joy so that it splashes over everyone around you! It was so good to hear from you.
It is a reality check for me reading about the things that you are encountering. We are so blessed in Canada. I pray for strength and wisdom as you see the hardships that the people in Uganda are facing.
