Uganda: World Day of Prayer

This is a reminder to pray today for Uganda and the Anti-Homosexual Bill. As far as we know, there are over 1,000 people from all over the world who have confirmed to be a part of this prayer day today. Here are the prayer points:

1. That this legislation be thrown out

2. For protection and peace for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters living in this oppression in Uganda and around the world

3. That the Ugandan Church realize this legislation is not morally or Scripturally correct – as there has been disturbing news recently coming from some of my contacts in Uganda and Parliament that the Ugandan Church is starting to make official statements in favor of this bill. I will be posting those as soon as they are official.

The world will feel this impact! People will be posting their prayers and experiences today here and here.

Tonight for The Marin Foundation’s Living in the Tension Gathering, we will be praying from 7-9pm CST at 5255 N. Ashland Ave Room 120. If you’re not able to pray, please email or call the following government officials to let our voices be heard:
