Yesterday, I posted a list of possible bad reports that will
by and by overcome a message bearer on the field in the absence of prayer
support. Here’s a list of my heart’s cry as I return to Sudan. I urge you to
stand with us.
My family: The
success of my ministry largely rests on the events that occur here from day to
day, when I’m home but especially, when I’m away in Sudan.
Please pray that:
- My wife Sola, be filled
with grace and wisdom to manage the home. - It’s our 10th
wedding anniversary on the 29th of April. Sola and I plan be
together (for the first time in 5yrs) on this date. Pray that it will be
possible. - God will actualize all His
desires for initiating our union. - Our children- Ed and
Othniel; will not be discouraged by my/our absence - God’s peace, protection and sound health
of my family.
My Ministry and me “God
in his mercy has given us this work to do, and so we do not become discouraged.
We put aside all secret and shameful deeds; we do not act with deceit, nor do
we falsify the word of God. In the full light of truth we live in God’s sight and
try to commend ourselves to everyone’s good conscience.” 2Cor 4:1-2
Please pray that:
- I’ll be a source of
blessing to many on this trip in Sudan and Uganda. - I’ll dwell in safety and health- spirit, soul and body.
- God’s power to heal the
sick, restore the faint, recover lost treasures, break strongholds and save
sinners flood my ministrations. - an aura of humility to
grace me, my messages, teachings and interpersonal relationships. - I’d be blessed with
productive cooperation of friends and partners in Sudan. - I’d be graced with the ability
to set 500-600 young minds ablaze with God’s truth as we embark on a
discipleship journey.
The Students’/Youth
Camp (9th– 15th May 2010) In the past 3yrs, we held
student prayer conferences, every 1st of May; where we prayed for Sudan, challenged
the students to godly living and led many to Jesus. But this year, we seek to
focus on those that have once committed to Jesus but whose spiritual growth has
been stunted by many unaddressed issues. This camp should help us help them.
Please pray that:
- this camp will provide
ample opportunity to disciple many students and youths in Yei. - We intend to run non-stop
prayer and worship sessions throughout the duration of this Camp. Pray for
wisdom and grace to engage such an exercise. - the Lord will raise a prayer movement from this Camp
to serve His purposes in Yei and the nations. - Pray for a life
transforming encounter for every participant. - funds will be raised to
run this camp. We need $3000. We’ve raised $700. - we’ll have good resource
persons for the Camp and other programs. - this Camp will usher in a vibrant youth movement that will
initiate and sustain the revival the Lord has promised.
The Children’s
Ministry (Dreamland Children’s Home) These 71 children are growing older
and need spiritual exposure and depth to nurture them into adolescence. We need
helpers that will be fully committed to their overall welfare.
Please pray that:
- a spiritually rich family be built in Dreamland.
- volunteer teachers, nurses and workers to come help
serve these kids. - they’d live in safety, peace and harmony.
- more partners and sponsors will run with the
vision of Dreamland. - Rebuke the spirit of infirmity and disease among
them.
The Students’
Ministry: This is at the core of my pursuits in Sudan. Working among
students and young people with an aim to raising passionate mission-minded
disciples, is what my ministry in Sudan is all about.
Please pray that:
- the Lord will raise great leaders from among the
students we are coaching. - the Scripture Union fellowships in all the
schools grow strong and multiple. - a vibrant Christian students’ and youth movement come
alive in Yei. - the fruit of our labors in the schools will abide
and abound. - that the student leaders in the various
fellowships will lead by example. - Pray for Mubarak. May the Lord keep him safe and
make manifest His power through his witness in the Nuba Mountains.
We’ll be highly honored with your choice to stand with us in prayer as we long to see Jesus loved and worshiped by many in Sudan.
