Shalom and welcome to 'Makariosmission' blog.
It is my great pleasure to announce that in just a few days I will be heading out with a group to Uganda in Africa. We are looking forward to a great time of ministry and a visitation of God. Below are a few basic details to fill you in on what will be happening.

# How you can play a part -
I am looking for people who will pray for us during these events. The local churches have a very ambitious vision to plant 400 new churches by 2020. This is a huge undertaking and it means that this is a season for seeing leaders raised up. The ladies conference will be key to this as Elaine and Anne seek through God's help to impart vision, empower and help local women rise up to play their part in fulfilling the great commission. We are looking to help the men buy into this and help them to prepare for the work ahead
and we will be focusing on the book of Acts in our pastors and leaders seminars. We are believing God to do something significant in peoples lives.
If you are willing and able to pray daily for us and the work while we are out there that would be a significant blessing. The fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man avails much and we believe God for a work that will bring about much change. Your prayer support could make the difference.
If you would like further details about supporting this mission in prayer then you can email me on makariosblessing@gmail.com and I will send you an email with a link to the prayer support paper I have typed up.
Hopefully I will be able to update this blog every couple of days or so while I am out there so people can hear about what God is doing as events unfold.
shalom...Steve Johnson
