Day of Prayer

Today was an eMi EA day of prayer. The entire office took the day off from work to spend time worshiping through music, praying as a group, and praying individually. It was so nice to stop all the busy work and remember where our focus should be.

It was great to have most of the EMI EA family together-joining the 16 from the office in Kampala, the EMI staff and interns from the town of Jinja joined us, The Sauders, the Greens, and Jeremy, and Lindsay, and Rosemary also came from Entebbe. We started out with beautiful acoustic worship with Kenny, a Ugandan who plays guitar in a worship team at a local church, Calvary Chapel. We listened to a sermon by John Piper, had individual quiet time, and then had small group prayer.

A couple prayer requests from my small group I thought I’d pass on:

• Healing for both Janet and Stella, our house help, who are sick with a cold/cough.
• Provision for Stella’s children, the school her husband works at had agreed to let their 4 girls attend for free, but are now saying they must pay school fees (over $500 altogether for the year)
• Homesickness and finding comfort in God as we miss people from home
• Salvation for family members and friends
• Providing the necessary staff for EMI EA, and all offices around the World. Right now there is a great need in each office.
• Transitions back home as our time comes to a close, and wisdom for future decisions
• The Gamble family, who were supposed to leave for the States yesterday, but have to wait at least another month due to a delay in the adoption of their two children, Moses and Miriam
• Wisdom and resolve in an issue at the Entebbe construction site

Thanks!
