Let’s Pray for the Uganda E-team

Last Sunday we prayed for the team of 22 young men and women who leave this Friday for the village of Kiburara in western-most Uganda. The team will serve our friend, Pastor Moses, and his church through Jan. 14, preaching the gospel at outreach gatherings and leading a youth conference for about 700 youth and singles.

When a similar team from Covenant Life visited Kibuara last year, many heard and received the gospel, and two small village churches were planted in the days following the trip. The team returned to Gaithersburg with news of the dire need for clean drinking water, and the singles of our church proceeded to raise over $40,000 to build three wells (in partnership with Covenant Mercies). These wells now provide clean water to over 3000 people. The money also helped with a building project and the purchase of a portable sound system.

The team has asked us to pray that:

• Many people will hear of and believe in Christ
• the team will proclaim and demonstrate the gospel with boldness, humility and wisdom
• the team will be sensitive to, and obedient to, the Holy Spirit
• God will give them many divine appointments
• the church members and Pastor Moses would be encouraged and strengthened by the team
• the team will have a significant impact on the youth attending the conference
• the team will be characterized by joy, humility, prayer and service
• the team will be protected from any harm, whether spiritual or physical

Let’s regularly lift up our brothers and sisters over the next two weeks as they serve our sister church in Uganda.
