Allow us to hear and respond to Your desires for those who would be Americans. And those truly seeking to become American guide us in welcoming them.
“You must not oppress foreigners. You know what it’s like to be a foreigner, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.” Exodus 23:9 (NLT)
“We lead the world because, unique among nations, we draw our people—our strength—from every country and every corner of the world. And by doing so we continuously renew and enrich our nation. While other countries cling to the stale past, here in America we breathe life into dreams. We create the future, and the world follows us into tomorrow. Thanks to each wave of new arrivals to this land of opportunity, we’re a nation forever young, forever bursting with energy and new ideas, and always on the cutting edge, always leading the world to the next frontier. This quality is vital to our future as a nation. If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.” ~ President Ronald Reagan January 19 1989 Remarks at the Presentation Ceremony for the Presidential Medal of Freedom
Operation World Pray for Uganda : Young people’s ministry is fundamental to developing the country, given that nearly half of all Ugandans are under 16 years old. The scourges of poverty, HIV/AIDS (and other diseases), Islamist militias, and state-sponsored violence all make childhood in Uganda more dangerous than it should be. Pray for the extensive ministry of SU in schools and for FOCUS(IFES) and Life Ministry (Cru) on university/tertiary campuses; evangelism, discipleship and training are the main ministries. Pray also for effective Sunday school and youth programmes in churches. Pray that a nation with such a high proportion of Christians and a high proportion of children might produce a generation that truly knows and loves the Lord!
See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.” Isaiah 12:2 (NLT)
