…The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16

 

Our Kitgum, Uganda outreaches to children are passionately praying for the children attacked by “Nodding Disease.” The World Health Organization, the Center for Disease Control and various other experts have unable to trace the cause of this FATAL illness. It starts as seizures, progresses into epilepsy, and slowly they become completely incapacitated and die.

 

Missionaries on the ground say the statistics are worse than what is being reported in the paper. Hundreds of children in Northern Uganda have been already perished; thousands more are sick. Nodding Disease predominately affects children. There is no known cure…

 

Today I received an urgent prayer request asking for all who are willing to fast and pray for these children this week. Please pray with us this week. These families have been through severe trauma and heartache only Jesus can fully understand…Now is the time for us to bridge this gap, restore the breach and PRAY God will revive Northern Uganda, one soul at a time.

 

Lois Ford, Founder and Director of Tender Trust, has been reaching out to the villages hit the hardest. One family shared with her as tears were streaming down their faces, how they survived the attacks, escaped abduction by the rebels, endured the horrors of the IDP (internally displaced persons) Camps, resettled, sweated and toiled to cultivate, scrimped and saved to get their children in school and now their ONLY two children had advanced stage nodding disease.

 

Please ask God to sweep through like a flood, carrying away all the pain and aftermath of the LRA, all the devastation and hopelessness of this disease, and bring a season of healing and total spiritual restoration.

 

nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing…

and encourage those who have weak knees.

His right hand, and His holy arm, have brought Him the victory…

His faithful love endures forever….
