As we just seem to keep stating over and over where ever we speak to people about our mission to Uganda, we are desperate for prayer. God has been showing that to us in new ways over the last weeks as we see the team in Uganda dealing with difficulty. It is clearer than ever that they, and we, are in a war. And that they, and we, are simply not able to hold our ground or move forward into the land that God has promised (a land of gospel redemption and transformation for Ugandans) without a very strong level of prayer warfare coming from our supporters.

One of the ways that we have sought to connect with that prayer support is by forming a “Wall of Prayer”. Once we get to Uganda, we will cover the wall in our kitchen area with laminated photos of families and individuals who are praying for us. And the kids room will have one wall dedicated to photos of kids and adults who hold them up in prayer daily. We know that we can look up at that wall on the days when we are being hit hard by the Enemy and know that people 10,000 miles away are praying for us and for God’s work in Uganda.

I mentioned this the other day to a friend who came up after one of our presentations to tell me that she will be praying for us. I explained our “Wall of Prayer” and told her we’d need to get her photo. I’ll never forget her instant response. “Yes, and HIS face will be there . . . . ”

Our wall of photos will no doubt be a great encouragement. The prayers of His people are invaluable, but when we really need encouragement it is His face that we will need to look for and that we will DOUBTLESS see, any old time we remember to look up. Isn’t it crazy how much energy we put into finding peace, rest, and salvation in everything but Him?

Having said that, if you pray for us and we do not yet have a photo of your family, please email us one as soon as possible via ddpierce@earthlink.net.
