Septemeber 18: Sudan

A Broader View

Today Billy Coppedge, currently serving in Uganda and Sudan, led our prayer concert for the field of Sudan. Sudan is a fairly new field for World Gospel Mission so I learned quite a bit about this ministry during our prayer time. I'll be able to pray better for the ministry in Sudan now and I hope you will too.

If you missed the concert and would like to hear the prayer click here.

Praying with Billy today reminded me of there prayer targets you see throughout this edition of The Call, WGM's bi-monthly magazine. The prayer targets are designed to give you a social issues that this portion of the world is facing so you can pray more specifically for the Sudanese.

Here is Sudan's prayer target:

Following a terrible civil war that ravaged the country of Sudan, the media spotlight is gone and the road to recovery is long and pockmarked. Pray for long-lasting peace and reconciliation. Pray for the safety of relief workers. Ask the Holy Spirit to flood the country with a desire for the truth of the gospel. Pray that the church will grow in southern Sudan and will reach the lost in the north and the west.

The prayer concert continues tomorrow as we pray for Japan. See you at the concert!

Today's Concert: Uganda

What a great concert!

Were you able to attend Uganda's concert of prayer today? If not click here to listen to the prayer time.

Ken Hopson shared several requests from the field. He shared the requests from each missions station. At Heritage International School you can pray for several students who have recently lost relatives and caregivers. Pray that God will provide them grace during this period of grief.

Ken also touched on the famine crisis that many are facing in Uganda. Many families are in need during this famine. You can help provide relief to Ugandans in Africa. Join the fight against hunger in Uganda now by giving to the Crisis Relief Fund! Your donation could be the difference between life and death. Terry Duncan, Regional Director of Africa, shares, “No doubt you may never see these desperate people, but someday you may talk with them in heaven and they can tell you what this meant to them. Thanks to all who made this possible.”

PRAY: Heavenly Father, please protect your people in Uganda as they face this urgent battle. May you fill their bodies and souls with love and provide for their every need. We lift them to you, Lord, and place them in your powerful hands. Amen.Click here to help with famine relief in Uganda through the Crisis Relief Fund.

Concert of Prayer: Tanzania

Hey Readers!

I just wanted to point out the lower section of this Concert of Prayer edition. Have you noticed this section? Take these prayer reminders with you. There easy, practical, and pretty ordinary reminders to keep your praying after the concert ends. Ministry will continue to grow and strengthen through prayer. Here is the reminder for Tanzania. You'll never look at trees the same.

Save a Tree, Pray for the Church

Wouldn’t you love to go on a safari? Talk about seeing God’s amazing creation up close! One of the most iconic images of Tanzania is a lone acacia tree pictured against a stunning sunset. We want God to bless the church in Tanzania so it can grow as tall and strong as these trees. Do you know of a particularly special tree in your town? The next time you drive, walk, or bike by, take some time to pray for the church in Tanzania.

Join the concert tomorrow as we pray for Uganda, Africa.

Septemeber 15: Burundi

Readers,

Hope you were able to join the concert call today. There were about 24 people who joined the concert to cover the field of Burundi in prayer. The prayer time was lead by yours truly. Our missionary staff person was unable to connect with us today so I had the privilege of leading this concert event.

The interesting thing about the field of Burundi is that World Gospel Mission's service to this field is short-term through Light University. How can you be part of this ministry? The school is in need of teachers from Communications (video, radio, etc.) to teaching English as a Second Language. Can you give a semester of your time to serve in Burundi? Could they be waiting for you?

Don't forget to check out The Call pages on the web. Listen to an exclusive podcast about Africa. And join us tomorrow as we lift the field of Tanzania in prayer.

See you at the concert!

Technical Difficulties

Readers,

I am so sorry for the technical difficulty we experienced today. We heard from several of you who called in and did not get to hear the prayer. There was a glitch in the conference system and we have been on the phone with our provider trusting that this will not happen again.

Please take a moment to pray for the field of Kenya. Jon Steury did a wonderful job praying through the missionary staff serving in this area. You can pray for them too. Click on this link to see a list of those sharing the gospel in Kenya.

Join us tomorrow as we pray for the field of Burundi. God Bless.
