Daily Prayer: the Lubwisi-speaking people of Uganda

According to BBC news reports, "a haemorrhagic fever that has killed 16 people and infected more than 50 others in Uganda has been confirmed as the deadly Ebola virus. The casualties are all in the region [of the Lubwisi NT project] on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.  The authorities say they are taking steps to isolate existing cases.  'From the beginning we've been isolating cases… but we can't say it's contained,' Dr Sam Okware, head of Uganda's haemorrhagic fever task force says  'There may be other people in those villages unknown to us.'" Thankfully, There is no word that this has directly affected anyone involved in the project.

  • Please pray for God’s hand of protection on the Lubwisi and all involved.
