As I mentioned in Sunday's morning message, our beloved brother in Christ, Ed Lacy, is bound for Uganda to teach "Christ-Centered Evangelism" to 600 pastors from all over the country.
Ed reports that Islam is enjoying great influence in Uganda and that the (pseudo-Christian) "health and wealth movement has contaminated much of the church." He says that "the message and methods which surround the gospel are in great need of reformation."
Specifically, here is Ed's request:
"Please pray for the mighty presence and power of the living God to empower the Word of God and illuminate, renovate, liberate, and transform for HIS GLORY!!!"
Will you print Ed's request and place it somewhere you'll see it so that you can be reminded to pray? This is a mission that is worthy of our prayers.
Though he doesn't mention it, you might also wish to pray for Ed's physical condition. He continues to struggle mightily, and the African heat is no friend. Ask God to supply him supernatural stamina and refreshment. And we would be remiss if we failed to pray for Ed's wife, Dianne, as well. In your prayers, try to think of some concerns she might have while he is away.
Thank you for loving our brother and sister, and the glorious gospel of our Savior that he is traveling a long distance to proclaim.
To God be the glory!
Greg
