Statement from the Bundibugyo Team

Dear Supporters/Family/Friends,

Over the past few days there have been many reports in the news of

conflict within western Uganda.  We would like to clarify a few things

as well as ask for prayer for the people of Uganda and our team.

We believe the series of events that began on Saturday, July 5, in the

western region was caused by tribally rooted tensions.  Even though we

never felt as though our mission (team) was a target, we made the

decision to remove ourselves from the area as the atmosphere in our

immediate area intensified.  We are thankful that God granted us the

grace to be evacuated to Fort Portal and remain safe, and we are

closely monitoring the situation in Bundibugyo.

Please pray for the local families in this western region who have

lost loved ones as a result of the fighting that has been taking

place.  Please pray against any fear in our hearts that has arisen due

to the intensity of what we have recently experienced.  Pray that we

would believe Proverbs 29:25 and put our trust in Him.  Lastly, please

pray for peace in Uganda and for wisdom for our team and organization

as we continue to assess the conditions in western Uganda at this

time.

Blessings,

Serge Bundibugyo
