Pray for Uganda!

Soon after we left for the US, the COVID cases in Uganda began to spike. Vaccines are not readily available like here in the US. Additionally, the hospitals can quickly become overwhelmed. Oxygen and ventilators are limited. In order to prevent further spread, the government put in place some serious lock-down measures. It is a very difficult time for those in Uganda. My heart is heavy as I hear of the hardships our friends there are experiencing. Friday was declared a Day of Prayer for Uganda, but you can still pray on Saturday. 😉 The Good Shepherd’s Fold social media pages have some specific prayer requests listed. 

This lockdown is scheduled to last until 2 days before our return flight. We do not know when schools will be permitted to reopen. We do not know if the lockdown will be extended or what the situation will be like in August, but there is not currently a restriction on re-entering Uganda. The restrictions are regarding movement within Uganda. Since things are always changing, and we have no control over the future, we are not borrowing trouble by worrying about our return. We trust that God has all those details planned and will guide and direct us in His perfect time. 

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew‬ ‭6:34‬ ‭NIV‬‬
