February Prayer Request

Dear Praying Partners,

Due to internet problems (which are not uncommon here), we have been delayed in getting the February prayer request to you. The Uganda missionary team has had a wonderful response to the 24/7 prayer chain. We are so thankful to each of you! We only have one time slot left to fill on our list. It is from 1:30-2 am Eastern time (10:30-11 pm Pacific, OR 6:30-7 am in the UK) Even if the time that you are praying does not fall within our assigned time slots, we are still blessed to have you as part of our team. By signing up for one of our time slots you are helping us all; by signing up for another team member's time slot you are still helping us all. If you are regularly praying for any length of time, please let us know so that we can be certain that you receive the prayer list each month.

We know that there are many prayer requests and that it may be too much to pray for every request each day. You can divide it up any way that works for you. It is completely up to you how you want to pray for the list. The important thing is that we know people are praying every day of the week throughout the year.

May the Lord richly bless you as you intercede for Uganda and the surrounding countries!

Special Prayer Request

PLEASE PRAY for this crisis in Kenya… Please pray for an end to the violence and for healing & reconciliation for the Kenyans and the many missionaries serving God in that country. Pray also for those on the Uganda team who are helping with relief items to the Kenyan refugees in Uganda.

Ongoing Prayer Requests for the Field:

• Prayer for the Urban Center Ministry
  • Please pray for a “place of their own” for the approximately 600 Kampala International University students who meet for services, prayer meetings and accountability groups each day of the week during the school year. At present they use a classroom at the university, where sometimes services have to be changed or cancelled due to the school schedule.
• Prayer for the Print Shop Ministry
  • Pray for the Lord’s provision of equipment, that we may be better able to print Christian literature, including materials for the pastoral trainings & youth ministries.
• Praise God for the successful start for new students in the 9 pastoral training centers.
• Please pray for all of the pastor training centers going on all over Uganda.
• Please pray for the survey trip to Sudan on Feb. 16-18 and to Congo in March.
• Please pray for the mission teams that will be coming in the summer, as they begin to meet and prepare for their trips.
• Please pray that we would all have the attitude of Christ, that we would keep Him the center focus of our lives, marriages, families, & ministries, and that we would be a light to Uganda.

Personal Prayer Requests for the Field:

• Praise for the safe arrival of the Bourne Family, as they have just joined the WGM Uganda field in January.
• Praise for safe return of the Coppedge family & their new healthy baby girl, Elsie Jayne, who was born on Nov. 3.
• Please pray for the Hopson family as they endeavor to do all that Jesus would have them do. They need to know how to prioritize their time so that their family times can be more Christ centered.
• Please pray for Lisa Fish as she is teaching grades 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12 for various Bible courses (at Heritage Int’l School); pray that Jesus will clearly work in and through her and in the hearts of the kids as they receive the Word of Truth. Many of the students have yet to make a commitment to Christ, and others are seeking to let Christ take over un-surrendered areas of their lives. Pray that all involved will be pliable and receptive of the things Jesus has for them.
• Pray for strength and wisdom for the Mayo family. Pray that they will continue to have opportunities to share the love of Jesus with those they meet.
