It's me, it's me, it's me oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer

I’m not really one to speak of spiritual battles, but if I have ever known one to be, it is now. There is a lot of evidence of war at Heritage International School, where the school is facing some rather large and serious issues. There is even evidence of battles in other areas of our lives here. Within our mission, nearly all of our vehicles have problems and have been put into the garage with very strange problems. Now we are left to walking and staying in at night- making it hard, if not impossible to do some of the ministries that I am involved in. Strangely even the weather here has been very odd, with large amounts of heavy rain coming during dry season, so much to cause a landslide killing hundreds of people. Even in my own life I have felt battles waging. I am not at liberty to give any details pertaining to the schools’ situation, but please please keep us in your prayers.

One HUGE praise is that one of our High Schoolers accepted Jesus into his heart after chapel today! He is Indian and comes from a “Jain” background. This is big news and we are all so excited to welcome him into the kingdom. Please continue to pray that he will be an amazing witness to his family and that we as a Christian family are able to continue discipling him. 

Thanks so much for all of your support and for continuing to lift Uganda up in your prayers to the Almighty and Powerful Lord that we serve. The song "What a mighty God we serve" comes to mind, and it is so true!

May you know the LORD to be your Rock, your Fortress and your Deliverer; your Rock, in whom you take refuge.
May you know Him to be your Shield and the Horn of your salvation, your Stronghold.
May you call to the LORD, Who is worthy of praise, and be saved from your enemies.
May He reach down from on high and take hold of you; may He draw you out of deep waters.
May you be humble, righteous, pure, and faithful.
May He broaden the path beneath you.
May you know God to be the One Who saves you from your enemies, Who avenges you.
May you praise and exalt God, your Rock, your Savior.
Amen. (from Psalm 18)
