Praying for Mexico
1 CommentsThis video clip is from Sunday when Dave Brewer led us in praying for the nation of Mexico. To inform the prayer time, Dave asked Pami Lotinsky to share about conditions in and around her hometown of Juárez, and how the Sovereign Grace church there, Iglesia Gracia Soberana de Cd. Juárez, is being affected.

Building in Uganda
1 Comments
Here’s word from Isaac Hydoski about a prayer request from our brothers and sisters in Kiburara, Uganda:
This past January I traveled with a team from Covenant Life to the village of Kiburara in Western Uganda. There we spent about 10 days coming alongside our sister church, Kiburara Gospel Centre, to help lead a youth crusade and other outreach efforts.
While we were there we clearly saw the church’s need for a new building and learned that the children had been making crafts to raise money. God allowed us to contribute by purchasing the crafts, and later on Covenant Life Church followed up with an additional gift of $1,000.
Kiburara Gospel Centre is currently meeting in a building that holds about 100 people, but the church has grown to over 150, mainly through conversions. Even more compelling than this space crunch is Pastor Moses’ vision for the building to function as a community center. He sees the facility being used throughout the week for education classes, weekly outreaches, and ministering to the many orphans in the area. But because funds have run out, construction has been halted while the church prays for God to provide. The church does tithe and raises funds toward the project, but the people are all farmers and will need a large crop harvest in order to raise more money.
Let’s pray with the Kiburara church that God will abundantly meet the need and provide for them to complete the building! Here’s how Moses put it: “Pray with us. This is how far we have gone, and we need God to do something. Currently we are stopping here because we do not have more money, but our trust is in the Lord.”

Prayer for the Nations: Germany
0 CommentsThis is one of the Sovereign Grace Mission videos that we viewed as a church last October. It deals with ministry in Germany, and since we took time to pray for Germany in church this past Sunday, I wanted to post it here for everyone to view again. I’ve included a sketch of the points we covered as we prayed for the German people, along with suggestions on how to continue in prayer. —Josh
Germany is home to over 82 million people. Despite the devastating effects of being at center stage during two World Wars, Germany has rebounded and is once again one of Europe’s wealthiest and most powerful nations.
For 45 years after World War II the country was divided, with East Germany under harsh Communist rule. The “Iron Curtain,” a concrete wall that literally split the country in two, came down in 1990, reuniting the nation.
Sadly, Germany is a spiritually impoverished nation, where only 45% of the people believe there is a God, and fewer than 10% attend church. Moreover, the Christian community that exists is aging; more than half of the Christians are over 50.
As the birthplace of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation, the nation of Germany has a rich spiritual heritage. Through Sovereign Grace Ministries, Covenant Life Church has a connection to what God is doing in Germany today.
One of the Sovereign Grace Mission videos [see above] we viewed as a church last October included an interview with Wolfgang Wegert and his son, Christian, of Arche (Ark) Church in Hamburg, Germany. Christian was a student in last year’s Pastors College class, and his dad has been faithfully leading Arche Church for more than three decades. Wolfgang will be preaching here on Palm Sunday, April 5, and telling us more about what God is doing in his country. We are so excited about the work and witness of this church and our growing friendship.
Please pray…
• For spiritual rebuilding in Germany—a new “reformation”—especially among youth
• That the people of this prosperous nation would see their need for the Savior; that they would hear and respond to the truth of the gospel
• The Wegert family, Arche Church and other like-minded churches— that God would strengthen their ministries and use them to build the church and bring many to Christ
