Brian and Jill Kanyike – Kampala, Uganda
Life and ministry seem to be moving slowly as Uganda is mostly still under lock down and curfew.
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for everyone to stay healthy. Luke was very sick and then Liana a week later. Both went to ER screaming in pain on their stomachs but the Dr. found nothing. Though Luke had swollen lymph nodes in his tummy. The Dr. thinks maybe it was a virus. Both are OK now. Now Luke and Laylee have rashes which the Dr. also thinks is a virus. I don’t know where they could be getting these things since they don’t go anywhere.
2. Pray for safety as crime and violence has been on the rise. Lately many riots and protests. The other day they were very close. It sounded and felt like a war as the riot police used water canons and such to disperse crowds. The booms literally were shaking our windows.
3. Homeschooling has been a little challenging. Being together 24/7 for months has made patience for everyone a little hard. Pray for patience and grace for everyone with everyone.
4. Pray for the church as people are suffering. We are helping best we can with the money we normally would use for tea after Sunday service.
5. Uganda is repatriating people who were stuck outside Uganda. Many of them are testing positive upon arrival. Pray that this does not lead to a massive outbreak.
6. For 2 years now Uganda has not had a proper dry season. The lake is higher then ever recorded and many people have lost their homes and lives. Even now when it normally should be dry it is pouring down heavily everyday. Pray for a time of dryness and for people who are affected to be safe and provided for.
Thank you for praying for our family and for Uganda.

Gary and Tina Barrow – Truckee, California
Praise God:
-First, praise the Lord that He has provided for us to start meeting together as a church. For the past 4 Sundays we have been able to meet in a local park. It has been so neat to see the body of Calvary Chapel Truckee come together, even under these COVID restrictions.
-Secondly, I want to praise the Lord with you that God is allowing us to buy our first home. We have never had a home of our own. The Lord has always said, up to this point, He wanted us to be able to go wherever He would call us. Now that He is planting us here, He is opening a door that Tina has longed for.
-For Calvary Chapel Truckee, I thank God that He has us in a place where we desperately need Him.
Prayer Requests:
1. Please pray for vision, sensitivity to His Spirit, for His power to work mightily in the church.

We are asking the Lord to raise up a gifted and dedicated youth leader to take over a struggling youth ministry.

4. We’re asking the Lord to open doors for us to have a Spanish speaking ministry.

6. for a Young Adults ministry we want to start. Pray for God’s timing.
As always, please continue to pray for South Asia. We are currently in the 3rd week of a new semester at one college and are planning, Lord willing, to start another semester at another college mid September. Please, please keep this work and those on the ground in your prayers. Their Covid restrictions are much tougher than ours and that amidst increasing persecution.
7. As always, Tina and I are so thankful for your willingness to stand with us in the ministry to see our Lord and Savior exalted among those who do not know Him.
Thank you for your prayers.
