Uganda Prayer Requests

Thanks so much for all of your thoughts and prayers while we have been on our journey, preparing for Uganda.

In case any of you are qualified and are looking to do some international travel, Heritage International School (where Sam and Zach will attend) is in desperate need of a high school English teacher for this school year! The school term starts on August 10th, but they would take an English teacher whenever he/she can arrive. Because of other shortages, many teachers are taking on extra loads to teach these classes. Please pray that one could be found. Pray for the new volunteer teachers arriving to teach the upcoming year that they will adjust well to Uganda and be a blessing to their students.

We obviously appreciate and covet your prayers, but if you could also remember the folks that are already over in Uganda doing the work. Please pray for the physical & spiritual health of the missionaries & their families:
—Southern Uganda Missionaries:
• John & Beth Muehleisen
• Jonathan & Lisa Mayo (Jordan & Ethan)
(Jon and Lisa are our Field Directors)
• Kenneth & Delight Hopson (Kaleb, Austin, & Emilee)
(Ken and Delight are actually back in the states traveling)
• Lisa Fish
• Keith & Donna Bourne (Haley & Rachel)
• Jean Komline

—Northern Uganda Missionaries
• Billy & Joanna Coppedge (Elsie Jayne & Lucy)

—Missionary Disciples (First term missionaries like us)
• Jamie Friedrich
• The Hallahan Family
• The Rambo Family
• The Guilliams Family
• Pam Wilson
• The Ferg Family
• The Burke Family

Please continue to pray for..
• the field housing situation. With rent increases and more missionaries arriving, the need for affordable field housing continues to remain a need.

• the monthly pastoral trainings taking place in 10 different locations including 1 in Sudan. Over 110 pastors are being trained at 3 different levels.

• the youth pastoral training and all of the youth outreach ministries.

• our field directors as they continue to look at new areas for outreach. New ministries have already begun in South Sudan . We are now looking at ministry opportunities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and 5 strategic locations within Uganda .

• 25 to 30 new missionaries to come along in the next 5 years to meet the needs of the expanding ministries.

• land to be purchased to build an Urban Center or to be able to purchase land with an existing building for multi-purpose ministries in Kampala. This Urban Center would be a place for the 600 plus students from 11 African countries in the University Ministry. It would be a multi purpose building for a church to reach professionals, a place to begin businesses or to rent out to other businesses to help fund the ministries of the church.
Please pray that God will provide the necessary resources to meet the needs within all of the ministry opportunities.
• Us that we will always have a Christ-like attitude and keep Him the center focus of our family and our ministry, and that we would be a light to those we come into contact with here and Uganda.

Stay Blessed,
Josh and Angela
