Compassion-sponsored children have access to educational opportunities, medical care, nutritious food, and the knowledge of the love of Jesus. They have been so blessed that many of them pray for their sponsors every day. Yet the children need prayer, too.

Following are prayer requests from the Uganda Country Office about the children, families, church partners and staff in Uganda: 

• Please pray that God will restore full health to the Bugiri district in eastern Uganda as there has been another outbreak of cholera. Pray that He, in His power, will prevent the spread of this disease.
• Please pray for the Lord to lead the government to take action against the recent outburst of rioting. Ask that His peace reign in the hearts of our children and their families while the conflict is being resolved.  
• Pray for the more than 12 million children in Africa who suffer from AIDS. Pray that Compassion staff will know how to meet the unique needs of these families.
• Pray for the Compassion staff members who are filling in as role models for children in poverty.
• Pray that the resources the Compassion church partners receive will enable them to have a life-changing impact on their communities.
