Dear Friends, I am writing to let you know about an upcoming opportunity to embark on a short-term mission trip to Uganda, 27 Sep – 8 Oct 2023. My trip is organized by “e3 Partners” and I will join few others from our Church who are taking the Gospel to the people of Uganda. This will be my second trip to this region, with the last one in August 2022 which was a huge blessing, with several accepting Christ, some home churches started, and I still continue to disciple couple of young men via WhatsApp! Our team will partner with national churches and believers to target unreached people groups with the Gospel. Each day, I will work with other team members to train local believers on how to share the Gospel and make disciples so that they could go and multiply. As part of the training, we will team with several local believers, including a translator, and go throughout the community, praying for and sharing Christ with those we meet. We will begin the discipleship process with as many new believers as we can, and our local partners are committed to following up with those who make professions of faith throughout the week and establishing new churches in those areas. Would you please join me in praying for these specific points? - That God would stir the hearts of many local believers in Uganda to share the Gospel in their local community and disciple them. Pray for God to give us many opportunities to share the Gospel, and that the message will be clear (Colossians 4:3-4) - That God would give me the right words and that I will have boldness to explain the good news (Ephesians 6:19) - That many would be born again, and discipled to grow in faith - That God would protect me and our team from the attacks of the enemy (Ephesians 6:10-17) - That God would grant good health and safety for the entire team - That God would meet the financial needs of every one on this trip The total cost for the trip is $3,850. If you would like to support financially, you may give toward my trip online here: https://purecharity.com/fundraisers/84224/fund All gifts are tax deductible, and you will receive a receipt for each gift. Thank you for prayerfully considering this request. Your prayer and financial support will be a blessing to me and to those who have the opportunity to hear the Gospel, thanks to you! I look forward to seeing how God answers our prayers as I take this step of faith. In Christ, Mahalingam (Ravi) Ravichandran 210-998-0554
