Spiritual Warfare and Mission to Uganda
New Horizons, May 1984, Page 5-6
Ugandans are much more sensitive to the issues of spiritual warfare than are most American Christians.
When they come to Christ they know almost instinctively that the powers of darkness are ranged against them.
Such an awareness forces them to pray. They know that the real conflict is not with flesh and blood but with the kingdom of evil.
In essence this spiritual warfare is fought on our knees as we claim the promises of God. I believe this is the only explanation of the way the ministry in Uganda has gone forward in the last six weeks.
Here at New Life Presbyterian Church we pray every Thursday from 7 a.m. to noon for our congregation, our sister congregations and for missions—with a special focus on Uganda and the team forming for ministry there.
We also pray as a group of men for an hour every Tuesday morning with the same focus.
Quote by John Songster:
“Thought I’d let you know, everything here has been touched by God. Like Midas, everything we do is consecrated for success. Strange! The land of disappointment is yielding up plenty of joy and fruitful victories. Thanks much for your most faithful prayers. I mean it!”
