"When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few, therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest" Matt. 9:36-38

It's that time
A political campaign I saw in Jinja last week
The Ugandan presidential elections are Friday Feb. 18th. The current president Museveni has been in power for 25 years and will most likely be re-elected. Whether it’s fair or not will be hard to tell. Most of the people I’ve talked to will vote for Museveni, despite their desire for change in power, because of the stability and peace he has brought to the country. Change in their minds is exciting and much needed, but with that brings much fear. Please pray for peace during this time. This election people seem to think the rising opposition stand a chance to win. I’m not concerned with my safety living out of town in sugar cane country. GSF is stocked on the essentials so we won't have to go into town if it's dangerous for several weeks. GSF also has a great reputation with the surrounding community and as well as the district officer, so we feel very little threat where we are. Please though pray for the protection of those living in Kampala and Jinja. Please pray Uganda will continue to have peace as a nation.
