December 2022

Friends

 

May I please ask for your prayer support.

I am going to be calling several churches, with whom I have No contact and I am Not known by them.

We have a class in this Town and are keen to enlist a new intake of students for the new course starting 16 January.

Our difficulty is that December is the month Churches are busy with their Christmas programs, Church activities winds down, and it’s the summer vacation time for most people.

Church activities only resume by the third week of January.

I am asking for your prayers as I approach Pastors about allowing me a 10 Minute time slot to do a presentation to promote our training class.

  1. The Lord alone can open these doors.

  2. The Lord will give me the contact with Pastors.

  3. The Lord challenge people and ignite a desire for the study of the Bible.

  4. The Lord will engender and connect me with Key Pastors who have influence in their Town.

Thank you for your diligence in praying with me.
Christian greetings.

I have not had any progress with my passport application. There are two ways of doing it. One is an online application, if SUCCESSFUL you can go to ONE of Four Bank in the State. I have tried this route and have had no response.
the other option is to stand in line from 4 AM and hope you make the first 100 people to accept.

Tomorrow I am going to go to the bank where they accept online applications. You cannot go their with out an appointment. I do not have one. I am going in the hope that I will meet some official who is considerate and helpful.

The other option is to Join the Line at 4 AM.
That’s where I am at this moment. Please continue to pray for the situation.

thank you.

April 2022

Glencoe Baptist

I need to ask for urgent prayer.

I have to apply for a new passport.

I NEED God to Intervene for an appointment ASAP.

The process is Painfully slow. It means I go to a office ,and wait in a Line of people from 5.30 AM . They only accept 200 applications out of 400 people who applies every day. You wait in a Line with no facilities to use. you could be their all day and not make the cut.

The other option is to do it online, which i have attempted to do. But they only accept appointments every two weeks. It means going online everyday to check for a date. their is only one place to do it. Every body is trying to get an appointment.

Please pray that I get an appointment ASAP.

I have to travel to Uganda in June.

Please pray .

Thank you.
