Although there's a group of 700 people backing us from the USA (mostly), few of those individuals and churches can truly understand the daily stressors on the field. There are currently around 6 missionary families in Gulu - the number changes monthly. Each family is deeply involved in ministries - often very consuming ministries. There are missionaries all over the world struggling with a similar issue: a sense of isolation.
Missionaries sometimes feel isolated in their struggles. Some missionaries struggle to find a Bible-preaching church or ARE the only source of Bible teaching in a given field. Some missionaries find that their sending agency doesn't understand the issues on the field and gives them directives that they cannot follow. Some missionaries struggle to find friends that they can confide in.
Pray for your missionaries that they would trust in the sufficiency of Christ, that they would rest in the finished work of Christ, and that God would provide for each missionary and each member of their families in just the right ways at just the right time.
