Prayer Campaign for July 2009 Uganda Trip

Starting next week through the middle of August 2009, we will be inviting people from our churches and communities to pray with us for Rakai, specifically focusing on the trip of several travelers from OJM and The Prairie Chapel to Rakai from July 17 to Aug 9, 2009. We're asking people to commit to pray at specific times and as often as they think of it during that time.

There is much to be done in Africa/Uganda/Rakai/Dwaniro, and it's obvious the Lord is at work. Local people are organizing and committing themselves to caring for orphans and vulnerable children and we want to support them in that endeavor, in ways that avoid creating dependent relationships. Kyle Douglass, Executive Director of OJM, will be working with the local leadership to strategically think through project development related to the OJM partnership so that the community can be equipped to care for their children. Other team members, such as Ted Manning of Schoolcraft, MI, will be working specifically on clean water projects and evangelism training. We pray for strong relationships and wisdom for all parties.

Please pray for us and tell your friends to pray for us. We will have a sign up at New Hope Fellowship in Lawton, MI and The Prairie Chapel in Schoolcraft, MI on July 5th and 12th, 2009, but if can also email us at info@orphanjustice.org and let us know when you're praying. We'll send you a bookmark with trip information and names of African leaders and U.S. travelers as a reminder.

Thanks for partnering with us!
