Prayer for Uganda

Isaac sent this email to the pastors before they left yesterday:

Happy New Year my friends!

Drew & I and 20 of our finest are off for Uganda this afternoon.  We would much appreciate your prayers throughout our time away.  As before this trip looks to be a great time preaching God’s Word, proclaiming the gospel, and encouraging these new start up churches.  The people there are hungry for God and we are blessed with experiencing many conversions every year.  May God do this again and more this year!

This trip also promises to be as physically & spiritually taxing as years past.  Please pray for me & Drew as we each will be preaching about 2x a day in various contexts.  I’ll be meeting with a group of pastors and future pastors & along with Pastor Moses will be teaching them for a 2 day “conference”.  My messages for these men will be focused on the book of Titus and specifically: knowing the gospel, gospel-centered sanctification, gospel-centered leadership, and gospel-centered preaching.  Can’t wait to serve these guys! 

Please pray for all of us…health was a major factor last year (almost all got sick).  I’m leaving sick like I did last year and am trusting God’s grace to get me through and even heal me.  Also, if you can pray for my wife and boys.  I’m leaving a sick family behind as well!  Thanks my friends!!!

For the gospel,
Isaac
