The Bible reminds us of the importance of caring for the stranger and the oppressed. In Matthew 25:35, Jesus says, "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." This call to hospitality and compassion is at the heart of our response to Rev. Nalwamba's situation.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you with hearts full of concern for Rev. Nalwamba and all those facing similar challenges. We pray for their salvation, that they may know your love and peace in the midst of turmoil. May your will be done, and may we, as your children, reflect your compassion and mercy to a world in need. Amen.
