March Prayer Request

Dear Praying Partners,

We are so thankful for 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)

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!

Jonathan and Lisa Mayo

How you can be Praying for WGM Uganda…

Please pray for the physical & spiritual health of the missionaries & their families…

• Kampala Missionaries:
  • Jonathan & Lisa Mayo (Jordan & Ethan)
  • Kenneth & Delight Hopson (Kaleb, Austin, & Emilee)
  • Michael & Angela Kelley (Abby & Ashley)
  • Lisa Fish
  • Keith & Donna Bourne (Haley & Rachel)
  • LeeAnn Owen (Homeland Ministry Assignment)
• Arua Missionaries
  • Billy & Joanna Coppedge (Elsie)
  • John & Erica Rinehimer

Personal Prayer Requests for the Field:

• Pray for a reasonably priced place to live for the Mayos. Their landlord is not renewing the contract that expires in a few months. They would like a place within walking distance of the school where the boys attend and Lisa teaches.
• The Coppedges’ house is currently under construction due to termite damage, so they are living with the Rinehimers. This could be challenging with a baby, so please pray for quick repairs on their home!
• Please pray for the Coppedges as they are trying to sort out getting their new baby, Elsie Jayne’s, immunizations in Arua.
• Please pray for the son of Delight Hopson’s cousin. His name is Brady, and is 18 years old. He has had 25 surgeries in his life to correct several birth defects. This last one was to correct his jaw alignment and make it easier for him to breath. During his surgery, Brady had a stroke. As of right now, he is still on a ventilator and is being kept in a coma state. The extent of damage is not known completely yet, but we do know that Brady has a long road of recovery. We are so thankful that He has Jesus to hold him. God is so faithful.
• Praise God for a successful survey trip to Yei, Southern Sudan in February! We will be officially starting a new pastoral training site there in April!
• Pray that the remaining time slots for the 24-7 chain to be filled.

Ongoing Prayer Requests for the Field:

• Please pray for land to build a house/office or to purchase land with an existing house for the field to have a permanent office and house.
• Please pray for the monthly pastoral trainings taking place in 10 different locations including 1 in Sudan. Over 180 pastors are being trained at 3 different levels.
• Please pray as we continue to look at new areas to expand the ministries. New ministries have already begun in South Sudan. We are now looking at ministry opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and 5 strategic locations within Uganda.
• Please pray for the Lord’s provision to purchase needed printing equipment. Specialized equipment will enable the ministry to not only print materials for the pastors training and youth ministries, but also to expand the ministry to help other Christian organizations.
• Please pray for land to be purchased to build an Urban Center or to be able to purchase land with an existing building for multi-purpose ministries in Kampala. This Urban Center would be a place for the 600 plus students from 11 African countries in the University Ministry. It would be a multi purpose building for a church to reach professionals, a place to begin businesses or to rent out to other businesses to help fund the ministries of the church.
• Please pray for the mission teams that will be coming in the summer, as they begin to meet and prepare for their trips and as we prepare for projects for them.
• 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.
