It's well known and documented that Christianity has taken a firm hold in sub saharan Africa – in Uganda for example the vast majority of the population call themselves born again Christians. We have also become acutely aware of the truth of another saying – that the Church in Africa is a mile wide but only an inch deep. Although many have accepted Jesus as their Saviour the truth is that this does not always impact their lives in a meaningful way. It has been sad at times to see individuals who profess to have a faith yet their lives do not always reflect this. No doubt there are different reasons for this and we recognise that we are all weak and the challenge of living a faithful life is there for us all. We often hear local christians measuring the success of a mission or outreach based on the number of people who have responded. Although this is good all too often little is done in regards to discipleship and Bible teaching so for many who profess to be christians there is not always the knowledge or understanding of what it means to live a christian life. So please pray for:

The hospital Mission Team and in particular Shadrach Lukwago as they seek to bring the gospel and to disciple new christians in their faith. Pray for the continued use of the Christianity Explored course For Judith & Christiane (a German colleague) as they continue to lead and develop a fellowship/Bible study for the housekeepers who work in the Guest House and in other staff homes – in this group there are 2 muslim ladies For Ken as he continues to think and pray about how he can be used in this area of ministry
