With Heads Held High

Prayer Makes a Difference 

I’m sure you remember the time Pat and I were the regional directors for Uganda, Africa. Thus we know first hand the great needs in that country. We even helped plan a strategic plan for WGM to meet some of those needs. It’s a plan of great vision with outreach into five of the central regions and across into neighboring countries. A plan, to be very honest,  that looked very unrealistic in light of their small missionary staff.

Then a few months ago the Uganda team organized a 24 hour prayer chain. They called all their partners in the US to join with them in prayer for the urgent needs in Uganda. One of the requests every week was for 25-30 new missionaries in the next five years. I almost laughed. On most of our fields we’re lucky to get one or two a year.

Last week in the WGM Lifeline http://www.wgm.org/lifeline Uganda was praising the Lord because they have 14 new MD’s (Mission Disciples) under appointment. I’m not laughing any more. God is answering their prayers, and the prayers of their partners like you!
