Joseph Kony, the leader of the evil Lord’s Resistance Army, is thought to be hiding in the jungle between the Garamba National Forest and North of Maridi town in South Sudan. Also gone underground are his deputies, Okot Odhiambo and Dominic Ongwen. The most current report, filed in Kampala, Uganda, can be found at the Daily Monitor. Military forces from Uganda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Southern Sudan are conducting a joint effort to eliminate the LRA.
Anglican bishop Justin Badi in Maridi, Sudan, has communicated with intercessors, asking for prayers of protection. The LRA is now just 3 miles away, mutilating and killing as they move. “It is a very miserable situation here in Maridi.” His most recent communication can be found at the bottom of this post. UK intercessor Jane Corbett has called for fasting on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Sudan. I ask American intercessors to join her.
Lord, who are Joseph Kony, Okot Odhiambo, and Dominic Ongwen that they should bring reproach on Your Holy Name? Who are they to profane the name which is above every name?
You have highly exalted Your Son Christ Jesus, and at His name every knee shall bow in heaven, in earth, and under the earth. Every demonic spirit operating in the LRA throughout Garamba National Forest, Maridi, and the land between, must yield to the Holy Name of Jesus.
You are Jehovah-Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts. Commission the heavenly hosts to Maridi and Garamba National Forest to defend Your people. Just as You raised up David to slay the Philistine Goliath, send Your Holy Spirit upon Your warriors to bring the downfall of Kony, Odhiambo, Ongwen, and the Lord’s Resistance Army. Amen.

UPDATE:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Your Holy Scripture teaches us that nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest. We humbly beseech You to reveal the hiding places of Kony, Odhiambo, and Ongwen. Bring the knowledge of these hiding places to Your warriors. Uncover these fugitives that justice may be done.
We cry out for mercy for the inhabitants of Maridi, especially Bishop Justin, Mama Joyce, and their flock. Deliver them from destruction. Deliver them from violence. Amen.
