"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." Ephesians 6:18
We dearly hope that you will pray for us whilst we are in Uganda. Below are a few things for which you can pray in particular as we prepare to go:
Practicalities - There are lot of details which we do not know about and will only find out when we get to Kampala. Pray that flights will go smoothly and safely that we may arrive without incident and that we will be well prepared for any situations that may arise.
Team - Pray that we will grow closer in our relationship with Jesus in Uganda. Pray that we might be "unified in the Spirit through the bond of peace", that God's Holy Spirit may continue to work in our lives and that we may bear fruit that glorifies God.
Church in Uganda - Pray that the Church in Uganda may stay faithful to the Word of God and not add or take away anything away from it. Pray that faithful ministers will be raised up and sent forth throughout Uganda and the world, preaching and teaching others from the Word of God.
Mission - Pray that we would remain faithful to the gospel and continue to preach and teach "nothing but Jesus Christ, and him crucified." That we may consider people's spiritual wellbeing, just as much as their physical wellbeing.
God's Will and Glory - In all things pray that God's will be done, that His Kingdom will come that all His people may glorify and praise God.
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God and of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
