Dear Friends,
Again, we want to thank you for all the prayers that you have lifted up on behalf of the Uganda mission team. God continues to take care of all their needs and use them as only He can. Rusty and Matthew have arrived safely and finished up their first day. Rusty described the day as "SPECTACULAR." He, Matthew, Mark, and Tracy were able to evangelize in the prisons. They were even able to go into the cells with the men. Today was the "Day of Salvation" for eight of those men!!! Even more, all of them signed up for the discipleship program. "God, You are so good!!!"
The other team members continued their transformation of Mama Mary's house. Kennedy, our Ugandan director, said that the walls were just beautiful. But the best part was the time they spent loving on the children. They dyed shirts, made salvation bracelets, sang, told Bible stories, and praised God. What a day they had!
Tell the prayer partners "Thank you so much for the prayers. They are really working. Things have gone so well and it can only be God. The whole team is doing so well and so glad they are here."

Prayer petitions:
Please continue to pray for all that God is doing. We know in our hearts that He is moving below the surface and accomplishing deeper purposes in people's lives. Thank you for being a part of this. Without a doubt, He has heard your prayers!
Prayer request for today:
- I pray that You will continue to grant the mission team passion and the will to do all their work heartily, remembering that they are serving you and not man.
- I pray that You would strengthen their souls, minds, and bodies for the new day.
- I pray that each team member would be characterized by kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness. Please let no irritation or negativity be found in their hearts.
- I pray that each team member would completely trust in You with all their hearts and lean not on their own understanding. I pray that in all their ways, they would acknowledge You, and that You would direct their paths.
- I pray that each team member, without exception, would submit willingly to You, O God, resisting the Devil so that he would flee from them.
- Please God, use them to accomplish your purposes for these people, and protect them in all they do.
Again, thank you so much. The team is so grateful to you.
In Him,
Betty Jo
