Family, Friends, and Fellow Warriors,
I am calling us to battle, a battle of prayer, that is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and kingdoms of darkness. There is a young boy here at Amecet, where I am working, named Dennis. Dennis is our sickest child here and is constantly on the edge of death. I have been praying for a while about Dennis and I was reminded the other day by my mom that sometimes in order to bring healing and restoration, fasting and prayer need to be involved. My heart is so heavy for him. He is HIV+, he has Tuberculosis, and a lung disease, he is no longer eating on his own, but is constantly living off of tube feeding and several medications a day. He has had fever almost consistantly for four months and he is only a year and seven months old. He cannot walk, or crawl. He does not talk but most of the time is moaning with pain or screaming with pain.
I have a feeling as well that this isnt just about his health. A lot of hexes and curses and withcraft are going on here in Uganda, and I am pretty sure that a spiritual force is over him, convincing him not to eat and causing him to continually vomit up the tube-fed food. It's killing him. I am asking you all, as fellow believers, to take up the sword of the spirit and go into battle with me for Dennis. I have been reading a book recently called 'The Sword of the Spirit, The Word of God' and it quotes the book of Acts saying 'Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus' (Acts 4:29-30). So, let us speak out God's word with great boldnes and ask God to stretch out his hand to heal.
This week, I am going to be fasting praying and on Saturday, a group from the YWAM base in Soroti are coming together to lay hands on Dennis and pray over him. I am asking all who are willing and able to stand with me and fast and pray on Saturday, and declare Dennis' healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. Expect God to move in a mighty way. I am attaching a sheet of scriptures to pray out over Dennis.
Let's use the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, to rebuke his fever, and denounce all spiritual strongholds, and declare healing over this baby. The scriptures are written in a fashion for prayers and can be found in the book 'The Sword of the Spirit, The Word of God', by Joy Lamb. Please be praying!
Standing in His truth,
Lauren Conrad

This brought tears to my eyes! Despite Dennis's suffering, still, in the picture, he smiles. His eyes are so innocent. I am praying with you today, tomorrow and the next days to come for Dennis's recovery. I pray that the Lord may touch him with His strong healing hands! Although their evil is real, OUR GOD is greater than their witchcraft, hexes and curses! I will be thinking and praying for YOU as well! With Love in Christ, Angela Ross
Hi Lauren. What an inspiration you are for those of us on the home front. I received your email through Sarah Netzel's mom. I will be praying for release and miracles today for Dennis as well as the other children. Thank you for the Scriptures as well as "being the hands and feet of Christ" right there, right now. God Bless you.

Lauren,
I will be praying for Dennis and that his healing serves as a spiritual breakthrough in this dark area of the world. There are a lot of folks praying for you also. How are you feeling? Can't wait to hear more about what God does through this missions trip.
Thanks for keeping your blog up.
Dave
hi lauren, i heard about your blog today in Sunday school from your mom. you are such an amazing person to be leaving all the "nice things" you could have here and work for God. i admire you very much and you are an encouragement and wonderful example. i will be praying for dennis and you and your work. thank you and THANK GOD for your faith! blessings, catherine davis
Lauren,
I'm SO glad the Lamb book is coming in handy! It's such a great prayer resource - I hate going to pray for someone without it! I just knew you would need it! YAY!
I'm SO glad you are feeling better. I've been praying every time your name has come across my mind. I will also be in prayer for this warfare you are facing on Dennis' behalf. Ask for the Holy Spirit to reveal the stronghold causing this illness. I will ask as well and email you if I hear from Him what to pray for. Only God knows the specifics - so let's ask Him to reveal it to us. He is SO mighty and BIG! I love you SO much! I'll email you tomorrow!

It is sometimes difficult for those of us in the States to grasp the reality and the intensity of spiritual warfare. Paul, however, was a missionary himself and he understood what he was up against. He explained,
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."
How true that is! And yet Satan has used a hiding strategy in a country like ours with Judeo-Christian roots. Working subtly, behind the scenes, and often through "religious" people; much like the strategy he was using with Israel when Jesus walked here on earth.
As I write, I am leaving for a week to go to a week of camp. The theme this year is "God is Bigger." What a simple, yet powerful theme. Our daily themes are: He is bigger than me, bigger than our problems, bigger than the world, bigger than our sin, bigger than our plans, bigger than everything!
We will continue to pray for you. And we know that there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.
Pete
