Pray that our actions and words above all else, bring glory to our God! Pray that as we travel from the guesthouse to the various places we will be serving that God will grant good reflexes and open alert eyes to our driver as he navigates through the craze of third world driving (which he does on a daily basis). Pray for the day we spend in the Kampala Hospital. Pray that we would bring smiles to children's faces in the midst of a scary time, and hope to terrified families.
Many of the children we will encounter in the hospital are children who have wounds of war. Gunshot wounds, burns, malnourishment, etc. Very few children who need the help the hospital offers are even ABLE to get to the hospital. Most of these children are stuck in displacement camps where there is about one nurse to ever 5,000 people, with no doctors or aids. Pray that the government would change their regulations on this, and even train the jobless in the camps to aid the nurses there. Let's kill two birds with one stone!
