Welcome to this edition of the FOCUS Prayer Page!
The FOCUS Prayer Page is an e-letter that is circulated to FOCUS friends, staff, supporters and partners to inform you on how to pray for the needs of the organization. This Page used to be called ‘Prayer Guide’ and was circulated every week. However, since March 2006 we haven’t been able to send out a prayer guide because of staff changes and transitions within our Communications Department.
We deeply apologize for the long silence since then till now. This time we will send you a Prayer Page fortnightly and we hope to keep it regular. We also encourage you to check http://www.focusuganda.org/ for more prayer information.
Many Thanks!
Dorcas

NEW PARTNERSHIPS
One of FOCUS goals is to see students become Godly leaders with a global worldview for the future. Therefore as an organization we seek to provide opportunities of service during which students can cultivate and develop their skills in leadership.
One of such opportunities has been established by partnering with the Norwegian Student Movement (NKSS). Both FOCUS and NKSS have set up an exchange of students for short term mission experience. This arrangement is already in action.
Currently, we have sent 2 students (Prince& Robert) to Norway for 7 months meanwhile we have also received 4 members from the NKSS who will be working on two campuses for the next 7 months. We ask you to pray for this partnership to have an effective and significant impact on both Movements.
-------------------------------------------------
Please Pray:
· For Ingrid, Kay, Marie, and Per (NKSS team) Pray for good health, smooth cultural adjustment, and effectiveness in their work
· Give thanks for the new links and partnerships that have been initiated with 3 other organizations; World Trumpet Missions Church (Uganda), Bank of Uganda, FOCUS Associates, Africa Inland Mission (AIM)
-------------------------------------------------
VOLUNTEERS:
We thank the Lord for people who are willingly giving their time to FOCUS as volunteers in all the Departments. We are grateful for their support and commitment.
Special thanks for Maureen who is a hard-worker and has given the work with Local Donors a big leap forward.
