“But thus says the LORD: Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible be delivered; for I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children." (Isaiah 49:25)

The Global Call to Intercession for Northern Uganda and Surrounding Nations is an international call to repentance and intercession to end Africa's longest running war.

This call to prayer is rooted in the confidence that the enslavement of children is an abomination to God (Matthew 18:6), that His will is for none of these little ones to perish (Matthew 18:14) but rather that they have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10).

The 22-year war in northern Uganda and surrounding nations has been Africa's longest running conflict. Tens of thousands of children have been kidnapped, tortured and forced into a hellish slavery as soldiers, laborers, and sexual slaves by Joseph Kony and rebel group "Lord's Resistance Army" (LRA). This terrible and tragic war has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives, displaced millions and left generations of children in crisis.

It is of the utmost urgency that the Body of Christ arise and engage in spiritual warfare and intercession concerning this crisis right now, as peace talks have failed and the LRA has recently conducted raids and abductions in southern Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Central African Republic. Your prayers are needed.

For Peace to Reign in Northern Uganda and Surrounding Nations: The LRA has recently conducted raids and abductions of young children in southern Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Central African Republic. Pray for violence and injustice to be utterly halted, for child abductions to cease, and for Christ's power to bring hope, redemption, and true and enduring peace to these nations.

For the captives to be set free: Intercede for the total deliverance of the thousands of child soldiers and slaves currently being held captive by Joseph Kony and the LRA. Pray for healing, restoration, and abundant life for all of these children through the power of Jesus Christ.

For the Welfare of Children: The most horrific crimes have been committed against the children of northern Uganda and surrounding nations by Joseph Kony and the LRA; there is a desperate need for intercession and action to support these children. Pray for all children that have been enslaved by the LRA and that have been traumatized by this war to be completely healed and restored through the power of Jesus Christ. Pray that the worldwide Christian community would have compassion on these children and that all of their spiritual and physical needs would be met. Pray for the great destiny God has for these children to be fully fulfilled.

For Kony and the LRA: Joseph Kony is the founder and leader of the LRA. Pray that he will release all captives, stop attacks and completely surrender to justice. Pray for the disarmament, demobilization, and permanent disbandment of the LRA. Intercede for Joseph Kony and the members of the LRA; that they will come to repentance and be saved.

For the Khartoum Government: The Islamic Sudanese government of Omar al-Bashir, the same responsible for the Darfur crisis today, has been supporting the LRA since 1994 through supplying weapons, ammunition, fuel, and all necessary resources. Intercede for Omar al-Bashir and the Khartoum government to be stopped and brought to accountability and repentance, that they may be saved. Pray for new, godly leaders and righteous government over Sudan.

For the Land of Northern Uganda to be Healed: Intercede for the land of northern Uganda to be fully cleansed, fully healed, and fully set apart for God's glory. Pray for full recovery and development throughout the region, and for necessary support to the millions who have been displaced by war in Uganda. Pray for the full restoration and healing of all families and individuals that have been affected by this war. Pray that the worldwide Christian community would unite in prayer for northern Uganda and engage in a conquering spiritual warfare on behalf of this land.

For Unification: Decades of war and corruption have caused division in Uganda. Pray for the unification of southern and northern Uganda under the banner of Jesus Christ --- pray that the walls of division and prejudice would crumble, and that there would be repentance, healing, reconciliation and forgiveness in Jesus Name.

For Victory: Pray for God to end this war; that the children of Uganda, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Central African Republic would never suffer these injustices again, but that they would all thrive and grow in His love. Pray for revival and transformation in all of these nations; that what the Enemy meant for harm God would work together for good right now by causing the Kingdom of Christ to be established throughout the entire region. Pray for the Church in these nations to prosper and grow into an united and unstoppable army that will disciple the nations and take by force the kingdom of heaven which has suffered violence. Pray that Christ's Glory, Presence, and Love would utterly fumigate, transform, and heal Uganda, Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Central African Republic. Intercede for the destiny of these nations to be fulfilled and that God would transform the world through their testimony.

For the Revival of the Church Worldwide: Pray for the fulfillment of 2 Chronicles 7:14 worldwide; that we, the Global Church and Body of Christ would humble ourselves, pray and seek God's face, and turn from our wicked ways so that God's healing flood will be released upon the nations. Pray that our Lord's personal prayer, that "they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. (John 17:21)", would now come to fulfillment; that we would truly love one another as He has loved us (John 13:34), that the Body of Christ will be healed and made perfect in unity (John 17:23) to manifest God's glory to the nations. Pray that we would be awakened by the Spirit of Truth (John 16:13) to see the whiteness of the world harvest (John 4:35) and to understand God's love and urgency for the nations (Mark 16:15); that we would pray, give, and go for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 13:44-46) and Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:19).

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19

"Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Matthew 18:19

"But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a never-failing stream!" Amos 5:24

We earnestly ask all ministries and individuals worldwide to intercede and mobilize intercession until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness as a never-failing stream.
