The Situation

In 1999 Uganda's President Yowerie Museveni declared that Uganda's homosexuals should be rounded up and imprisoned. Homosexuality has long been punishable by a lifetime prison sentence in Uganda, but lately the situation has deteriorated...

Last December I broke the story http://www.talk2action.org/story/2009/12/20/224021/61 that Engle was probably taking TheCall to Uganda. Since then, plans for the event have firmed up http://wthrockmorton.com/2010/04/07/the-call-uganda-may-1-2010/ and gay rights groups are scrambling to gather opposition to TheCall Founder Lou Engle's plan to to stage, on May 2nd, one of his antigay, sexual purity obsessed mass prayer rallies at the Makerere University Sports Field in Kampala, Uganda's capital, which will call upon God to save the nation from "witchcraft," human sacrifice, and homosexuality.

Meanwhile, a looming bill before Uganda's Parliament threatens to allow the execution of gay Ugandans and turn the nation into an Orwellian antigay police state in which in citizens would be required to report homosexual activity to the police or face three years in jail.

A "Prayercast" against health care reform

At the Family Research Council’s December 16, 2009 “Prayercast” against health care reform Lou Engle led US GOP Senators Sam Brownback and Jim DeMint, and Republican Congressional Representatives Michelle Bachmann and Randy Forbes, in prayers against government-provided health care plans. Engle claims to have been Senator Brownback’s roommate for seven months.

During summer 2009, at a Virginia Beach, VA megachurch ceremony Engle prayed over, blessed, and anointed GOP presidential hopefuls Mike Huckabee and Newt Gingrich. At the April 15-16, 2010 Freedom Federation “Awakening” conference held at Liberty University’s Thomas Road Baptist Church, attended by Virginia Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, Lou Engle led a session on “revival and prayer.”
