Keep on Praying!

Mugisha Emmy is the man now in charge of our Youth Pastor's trainings in Uganda. He and several youth from one of our Kampala city churches recently went to another town located on the edge of Lake Victoria to minister and fellowship. They hired a public taxi to take them, and made arrangements for the 2 drivers to pick them up in the afternoon. However, the men went and got drunk and returned an hour late. Because the church group was a little far away from a place to hire another taxi, they got in and asked the men to drop them off in the local town (Jinja), and they intended to hire someone else there to return with to Kampala (2 hours away). Mugisha soon discovered that these men, not Christians and very drunk, had it "in" for the Christian group and they refused to stop in Jinja to let them get out. Instead, they drove back to Kampala and had 3 head-on collision-misses and several other near-misses. People in the group were crying, some throwing up with the unsafe driving and high speeds, and of course all were praying for Jesus to keep them safe despite the evil of the taxi men. Upon arrival in the city, the taxi hit (fender bender) a vehicle but in stopping, Mugisha and the group got out quickly. In these situations, it is hard to press charges but I am encouraging Mugisha to do so. Meanwhile, this is one more example of how Satan is trying to thwart our ministries efforts in the world. Please keep praying for safety, health, unity and peace and that even if tragedies and persecutions do happen, that Christ will be glorified as He has already won the victory against evil. Praise the Lord for the safety of our brothers and sisters in Kampala! Pray for those 2 taxi men, that they will meet and surrender to Christ. Thank you!
