Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
1 Timothy 2:1-6 AMP
First of all, then, I urge that petitions (specific requests), prayers, intercessions (prayers for others) and thanksgivings be offered on behalf of all people, for kings and all who are in [positions of] high authority, so that we may live a peaceful and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This [kind of praying] is good and acceptable and pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge and recognition of the [divine] truth. For there is [only] one God, and [only] one Mediator between God and mankind, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom [a substitutionary sacrifice to atone] for all, the testimony given at the right and proper time.
In this scripture in 1st Timothy 2, the Apostle Paul encourages Timothy and thus also every believer today, to continue to pray for our nations and governments - interceding for their salvation and change of heart - turning back to God and repenting. For in so doing, it ensures that we as believers will have peaceful lives in the land we live in. Meaning no wars, no struggles with the weather, no riots, no crime, etc.
But, when we start to lag behind, and lack in our prayers and intercession as the "Corporate body of Jesus/Yeshua" in this earth, we can expect trouble in our nations. And looking at the world today, and everything we are having to deal with from one nation to the next, it is clear that the Church has "forgotten" to pray for our leaders and governments in our respective nations.
And it is time that this change !! We as believers need to repent, and start praying for our leaders and governments which God has allowed to be placed over us.
And that is what Ps Isaac is also requesting all of us, to help him stand in the gap for his nation Uganda. Since the elections in January, Uganda has been turned upside down. They even lost all connection with the outside world for a number of days, as the internet and electricity was all shut down by the government. Causing a lot of unrest and instability, and life has become very difficult for everyone living in Uganda...
Here follows some feedback from Ps Isaac since end of December till now. The one day he still had a wonderful experience - seeing over 4000 people celebrating God's Love and goodness, with over a 1000 people dedicated their lives to the Lord Jesus/Yeshua. Just to almost go into a time of Lockdown shortly thereafter. We are only hearing from him now again, with feedback of what happened, and also sharing his urgent need of assistance to try and generate a steady income for him and his family...while also supporting some of the youths to continue with their studies....and travelling to various parts of Uganda to share the message of Repentance with as many people as he can.
Dear friends,
Warm greetings again from Pastor and Mrs Oyako!
We are passionately sharing our vision for income generation. For many years I lived by faith not knowing where my next income would come from. My wife is a civil servant and soon to retire. Her income is far lower than what the family needs. She earns only USD 400 monthly.
For all those years (from 1993) faith in God sustained us through a network of friends in Europe, USA , Australia etc. We were able to educate not only our Biological children but also other needy girl children up to today. The need is growing while the government is growing insecure towards NGOs and is oppressive.
But God has blessed us in away: We have 8 acres of fertile land leased for 98 years near Abalang Trading center my place of birth. Secondly, by God's Grace God he has blessed me with insight into his word to help build the church by teaching His word and write good books which are much needed in the church today across the board.
In spite of that potential I am still struggling with giving appropriate output to benefit the church and society. The most inhibiting factor is lack of finances to run ministry i.e a change to a newer and stronger car to match the road terrain, support training in conferences and seminars, write and publish durable training material and meet the car maintenance costs. Above all we have constant influx of young girls genuinely needing help to go to school. Most of them are hard to turn away.
The changes have affected us: The sponsors I started with in 90s were older than me. Most of them have retired or died. The impact of this to us constantly dwindling funding and increasing responsibility.
I have tried to work like 30 year old, to fulfill my responsibilities but I get stranded sometimes - frustrated because funds are simply not coming or are too little to accomplish much. From the Western world the paradigm has shifted; the value for ministry has faded.
With all these changes my wife and I have thought of an income generation using what we already have. In September, we put all our meager savings into goat farming. It has so far cost us more than ugx 10 million (USD 3000} of our personal saving to build a goat house, temporarily fenced off 2 acres of land, purchased initial stock of 25 indigenous she goats and one, exotic mail goat, planted grass and prepared silage for drier climate. This is about 50% of the initial goat stock we intended to start with. So far it seems it might be paying off. Just next month we expect an increase of over 20 kid goats as 20 goats are expecting.
Not only do we plan to stop at goats, but to introduce free range poultry farming this year along with goats. When both have taken off, we plan to introduce fishing. Our land has the swamp good enough for fish.
All these are excellent work, but also danger can be great: It can also obstruct ministry and slow down my core activity of ministry. To navigate around this, God has provided willing people among the girls we support to do training and acquire relevant skills.
The challenge we are facing in this innovative is lack of adequate funding for capital investment. For example, my third book, entitled, "Preparation for rapture by Rev. Isaac Peter Oyako" is stuck with the publisher for almost year now. I simply do not have financial energy to move forward.
Coming back to the farm, this is where the big needs are:
1.We have to expand the goat house immediately to protect newly born kids from being trampled upon by elder goat, This is urgent. This need is ugx 2 million (USD 600).
2.Fencing off the entire plot (farm area)so that goats do not destroy food crops, it will also guarantees the chicken safety. This is estimated to cost ugx 5 Millions (USD 1,500).
3.Lastly, but most crucial is completing payment of part of farm land. The deadline is March 6th 2026 or else we may lose that vital portion of land. The balance is ugx 3 million (USD 800).
The above is our current mountain to be moved.
Please stand in prayer with us.
Thank you very much

Dear Jeff and Susan,
Greetings!
Thank you very much for your prayers for us and our country Uganda. We have emerged from six days of a total black out (internet and social media shut down). Today is my first day after 6 days to see sunshine and come out of my gate.
Great bloodshed was expected during this election but it did not happen. God stretched forth His hand.
The incumbent president was declared winner, but opposition has rejected the outcome. We do not know what will happen.
The situation appears calm but there is a heavy deployment of military and police every where.
We had 6 days inside without sufficient food and life essentials. It was tough for me and all the 17 people in our house including the girls we are supporting. Pray with us that we come through in this situation as quickly as possible.
Also for me to be able to dash up country to see how the farm is.
I will appreciate hearing from you soon

Dear friends,
Greetings from Soroti , Uganda,
You may be aware that we started a goat farm in September 2025. We hope to include poultry and fish with time. This is in a bid to raise income locally to meet the growing ministry needs ; that is to support more girl children at school and meet the gospel outreach programs (training in conferences and seminars).
The idea of Income Generation Activity (IGA) has kicked off successfully. So far so good. We are expecting 20 kid goats to be born in March 2026 because that number of goats is already expectant.
The cost of maintenance is currently overwhelming; we have to keep hiring a veterinary who lives more than 20 Kms away to attend to our animals and he is sometimes busy serving others in the entire sub county (more than 500 household).
To cut round these, one of our girls ; "Jackie Ayuro 23" (photo above) volunteered to take 2 year course in Animal science and farming at Nile Vocational Institute (international) Jinja. She has completed year one in December 2025. Her second year has began one week ago, but she has not yet reported due to school fees challenge. She needs an equivalent of USD 400 urgently.
Therefore, our dear friends, would you like to pray with and also give anything possible to us for the farm needs?
We currently have three outstanding farm needs as follows:
1. We need USD 400 for Jackie to return to school this term one of her second year.
2. We need a stronger chain link to secure the farm property and protect other crops from damage by goats. We also need to add another one acre additionally fenced off for goat easy movement. That will cost up USD 2000.
3. Lastly my neighbor is selling us more land to expand the farm in future. We have made a deposit already of Ugx 1,000,000. The balance is ugx 3,000,000 (USD 900).
The above are our crucial needs for which we (my biological family and the girls we support) to have been praying earnestly.
Thank you, and may God bless you.

Dear brother Jeffrey,
Thank you very much for standing with me in prayers and support, attached are pictures to day when I was ministering in one of the most recognized Pentecostal churches here in Jinja. There were three church services from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm. I spoke what God told about God doing a new thing Isaiah 43:18-20.
Some 2 people gave their lives to Jesus and repented and promised to change their way and allow God to do a new thing
Thank you very much for praying with us. Our house in Jinja is full and warm with about 17 people. The Lord has been providing and meeting our needs, God willing I would like to dash to the farm for a few days before Saturday. I scheduled to join a couple in Holy marriage that day.
Also pray for peace in Uganda after presidential and parliamentary election from 15th January 2026.

Dear sister Susan, the above are pictures and videos of our goat farm.
Also attached are 2 videos of a conference I was speaking at recently. It was at a conference in Uganda where 4028 attended from 28th to 31st December 2025. Over 1000 repented and dedicated their lives to the Lord, but I forgot to take a picture or video
