May Prayer Request

Dear Praying Partners,

Here are the May Prayer Requests. Sorry for the delay in getting them out, we have had a few problems.

We still have a few time slots that need to be filled. If you or someone you know would like to fill some slots please let us know.

As you can see below, God is answering prayer! We are expecting even more answers to prayer. Thank you so much for praying!

We appreciate you!

Jonathan and Lisa

How you can be Praying for WGM Uganda…

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

• Southern Uganda 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
• Northern Uganda Missionaries
  • Billy & Joanna Coppedge (Elsie)
  • John & Erica Rinehimer

Praise God For Answered Prayer!…

• Praise the Lord~ we have been able to purchase a piece of land and a partially finished house for the field to have a permanent office and house! Please pray that we will have the necessary resources to finish the house in a timely manner.
• Praise the Lord~ the needed printing equipment has been donated! This specialized equipment will enable the ministry to not only print materials for pastors' training and youth ministries, but also to expand to help other Christian organizations. We all see the hand of Jesus in this! His timing is everything!

Personal Prayer Requests for the Field…

• Now we ask that you please pray for Kenneth Hopson as he goes to South Africa in mid May to choose the printing equipment that he needs. This equipment will be loaded onto a container and shipped from South Africa to Uganda. Also, please pray that the Lord will provide the necessary funds to ship the container of printing equipment and pay any necessary duty on the equipment here in Uganda.
• Please pray for the Mayos as they prepare for their Homeland Ministry Assignment. There are a lot of details to finalize before they leave at the end of July.
• Now that Keith and Donna Bourne have finished language study, please pray for God's guidance as they begin to learn more about the ministries they will be involved in. Also, pray for their daughters, Haley and Rachel as they finish the remainder of this school year.
• Our vehicles in northern Uganda (the Rinehimers & Coppedges) have recently had serious mechanical problems. Please pray that they can be repaired in a timely manner, as we need to travel to Sudan by May 12. Please pray for our safety on the roads & good discernment in traveling & how to handle these problems.

Ongoing Prayer Requests for the Field:

• 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 for outreach. 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 that the Lord will provide 25 to 30 new missionaries in the next 5 years to meet the needs of the expanding ministries.
• 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 that God will provide the necessary resources to meet the needs within all of the ministry opportunities.
• 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 .
