This is Alex and Irene, and their little boy Alpha....dear friends to Mercy Uganda
People wonder what draws me so deeply to Uganda......there are many things, but I must say that one of the most profound things is the faith of the Christians there. A few weeks ago, before my January trip to Uganda, I felt discouraged and even shared with others that I felt I only had a half of a grain of mustard seed of faith......I too easily forget just Who is in charge. I too easily forget that God owns the "cattle on a thousand hills". I too easily forget that "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world and those who dwell in it". Our dear Ugandan friends, who have so little and experience so much pain, suffering, and loss, seem to remember those important things so much better. They see God's work in Mercy Uganda in ways that I cannot grasp. They see what God is, and will be doing through this ministry......sometimes I can't see past the little bank account we have. Mercy Uganda is honored to have such dear friends who are committed to praying for us. Please read our ministry liaison's information below. I pray that it will encourage you to join them in praying for us. We need your prayers!
A A beautiful group of children from the church that Alex and Irene attend.....our prayer warriors!
the information below is from Lauren, our ministry liaison for Mercy Uganda, who is currently living in Uganda...
Our dear Ugandan friends, Alex and Irene, along with members of their church have committed to praying for Mercy Uganda.....we need those prayers, and covet yours as well.....we want to honor and serve God through Mercy Uganda.....
Tonight Alex and Irene brought some people from their church over to my apartment to have a prayer meeting for Mercy Uganda.These really are some prayer warriors--there's so much faith behind their prayers. Some of the specific things we have been praying about are the following:
* That God will show our ministry the needs He wants us to meet
* Wisdom in who we as an organization trust and associate with (there is a lot of corruption here)
* That God will provide land for Mercy Uganda to start a guest house and other projects
(the guest house is a project we are seeking God's will in....it will provide an income for the Mercy Uganda which will be used to minister to those whom we serve there. Mark and Laura are prayerfully considering if this will be how and where God wants them to be...to live)
We're going to be meeting at my apartment every Friday afternoon to pray for Mercy Uganda. You can join us if you like. It starts at 5pm Uganda time, 9 am Central time ;-).
