What Can I Do?
Prayer
We are very thankful for our Ugandan health staff who are extremely gifted and who have compassionate hearts; intentionally seeking to minister to the spiritual needs of those we serve. Pray for their continued strength and perseverance in serving in often difficult circumstances. Pray also for those we minister to, that God would provide both spiritual and physical healing in this region.Volunteer

Rasulia's Story
Meanwhile, Rasulia and her children had been abandoned by her husband and so her brother took the responsibility over her and the children. He had to now fend for two families amidst their impoverished state. With the love he had for his sister, Rasulia’s brother sold some animals to go to the Regional referral hospital. However, when they got there, not much was done and up-keep being expensive, they decided to return to Midigo health centre. When informed about the patient, Dr. Elizabeth was moved to speak to Rasulia about the love of Jesus and how as humans we were limited in our wisdom. Rasulia was then committed to the Lord and started on medications while trusting for God’s intervention. Rasulia pulled through and 2 weeks down the road she was discharged back home with a smile on her face!! We thank God for His intervention and how He continues to teach us to trust Him.
One way you and your church can become involved is through our Alliance of Churches for Crisis Response (ACCR), which was birthed out of the many churches that have expressed their calling to respond to global crisis with the hope of the Gospel, but are not able to take on the burden of carrying out the many details involved. While opportunities for individuals to serve overseas are available, it is our vision to serve the greater church body through this network of churches.
