We started our Bible study as a team to start digging in deeper to the subject that we will be teaching while we are there. It is very moving and challenging so far and I can't wait to know more and dig into the study with fresh eyes!
We have some more things that we need prayers on:
- Team fundraising: Please pray for our individual fundraising as well as the team fundraiser that we are undertaking. I hate to put this first on the list but the truth is if I can be transparent here for a bit is that when you are preparing to go the last thing you want to think about is do I have enough to cover the cost. Please pray that people will give radically to the team to carry God's love and word to those in need.
- Health of individuals: Please pray for each team member that is going that their health is great, that any issues that need to be worked out will be done in a timely manner.
- Material that will be taught: Please pray for those that are preparing the material that will be taught while there. Everything from the Holiday Bible School material for the children to the material for the youth, women and men during the conference.
- Please pray for the people of Africa where we are heading that their hearts will be open and that they will be receptive to the message that we are bringing. Pray that God draws in those whom He is calling by name to surrender to Him.
Obviously I could add many more things to the list to pray over but this is the focus at this time. Your prayers are felt by each team member and are coveted.
So with 13 weeks left to prepare I wonder how all of it will come together and I'm left with this passage: "I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13
We can do this! We can carry his word once again and we can deliver the message of hope to the hopeless!
Thanks for your prayers and I can't wait to share more with you along the way!
