pictorial prayer – march13, 2011

please pray for rain. The dry season has been intense in Gulu and the rainy season is about a month late. Besides making it difficult to carry on work, the heat has delayed crops and often dries up water sources. The lack of rain has greatly inflated prices for even basic food staples. Please pray with us that God will graciously send His people here “good” rain that will be conducive to, and not destroy crops.

please pray for the problems of alcoholism that are rampant, especially in the village life here. As one Ugandan colleague recently put it, “at any given time at least 50% of the men in the village are drunk.” Please pray that God would continue to raise up people of conviction, integrity, an diligence in the church who will make an impact in their communities.

please pray for continued opportunities for relationships and chances to share Jesus as I work in the hospital here in Gulu and interact with people in the community.
