Join Us In Prayer

As I approach my trip to Uganda, Africa tomorrow afternoon, many of you have asked how you can be praying for our team.  Here are some specific prayer needs that we have, and we thank you for praying diligently with us!


1.) Servant's Attitudes
Please pray that we will first and foremost have the attitude of Jesus in the way we serve the people we are with.  We are confident that there will be difficult times, and times where we may not be motivated to work, share, or serve.  Please pray that we would persevere through these times, and stay focused on the reason why we are there.

2.)  Trust in Him
Going on this trip will force us all out of our comfort zones, and place us in situations that cause us to fully depend on God.  Please pray that we would trust His sovereignty and that we will grow tremendously in our faith through the situations where we must fully rely on Him.


3.) Travel Safety
We will be traveling on January 10th-11th from Dallas, to Uganda, with a layover in Amsterdam.  In addition, we will be busing approx. 5 hours each way from the airport to and from the development site in Northern Uganda.  Lastly, we will fly from Uganda back to Dallas, with layovers in Amsterdam, and Memphis on our way home.  Please pray for safe travels, and smooth transitions at our different airports.

4.) Safety In Uganda
This is a huge prayer request.  Uganda is a dangerous country to begin with due to lots of civil unrest.   In addition, Uganda is going through elections at this time, which causes additional violence and radical protesting in certain areas of Uganda.  Please pray for protection and that we would be kept clear of areas where war and protest are happening as a result of the elections.

5.)  Communication Barriers
Please pray that God would open the lines of communication for us.  Communication is key in sharing the gospel and love with people in Uganda, we are excited to see how God will open the door for us to communicate, so please pray for the opening of that door!  Also, pray for effective communication when we arrive at the airport in Uganda, that we would find our transportation when we arrive, without any problems.

6.)  Health
Please pray for our team's health, that we would not run into sickness caused by food, water or native disease.  We pray for health so that we can serve to our full potential, and be effective in our ministry.

7.)  Blessing
Please join my in praying for the blessing of those who have supported this team.  Many of us have been supported by friends and family financially, please pray for Gods blessing upon those who have made sacrifices and given generously to the work God is doing in Uganda.
