Team Uganda is on Their Way!

Team Uganda is boarding a plane right now. Please keep them in your prayers as they travel and then serve in Iganga. Below is a message from our Overflow Prayer Coordinator Debby..... Though you are not journeying to Uganda with them, you are each a vital part of the mission team as well!  Your prayerful support of these missionaries will make all the difference between a trip that was just “okay” and a trip that will transform lives.  There is no one right way to pray during this time.  Therefore, pray as you are led for your missionary.  Here are just a few guidelines we would suggest for all of our prayer partners:

1.       Pray daily for your missionary – begin today. All except four will return to the U.S. on Sept. 30th; Sue, Judy B., Liz, and Jaimie will remain in Uganda until Oct. 14th.   

2.       Pray daily for your missionary’s family - for their health and safety, peace of mind, and provision in the missionary’s absence.

3.       Blog posts from the field are powerful prayer generators! Check out the following blogs daily for updates and stories during the trip:

4.       Continue to pray for your missionary for several days to a week after he/she returns from their trip and transitions back into home life.  I will send more information on this later on.

5.       Pray in confidence as you are led by the Holy Spirit.  Be encouraged that even when we do not know what to say in prayer, we remain faithful to pray and He makes intercession for us continually (Romans 8:26, 8:34; Hebrews 7:25).
