Prayer Requests From Our Team As We Travel

Please pray for Sara to have continued guidance as she looks at the possibility of pursuing a Master’s degree. Her heart’s desire is that she have meaningful and God honoring relationships with family, friends and co workers. Sara wants a heart that loves HIM above all else.

Please pray for Kelly, Jeff’s wife and his children, Matthew (8) and Lindsey (6). This is the longest that he will have been away from them. Pray that the time will go smoothly for them while Dad is away.

Please pray for Jenna. Her desire is that God would open her eyes and ears to see other people’s needs. She wants to think of others first and be the Hands and Feet of Jesus. Pray that Jenna will not experience stomach problems while she is in Zimbabwe.

Please pray for Candi and for her three grown children. She has been having some foot problems and asks that you pray that it might not be a problem while we are on the trip.

Please pray for Jesse, as she is the youngest member of our team, but also has had several physical issues. Her prayer is that she will be healthy on the trip so that she can fully serve God each day she is away (and that her Mom and Dad won’t worry).

Pray for Chip today. His business is in the area of Finance. Please pray that the enemy will be defeated and that he won’t be worried or have his joy of serving Jesus affected while he is in Africa.

Pray for Diona. This is her first Missions trip and the first time that she has left her two children for such a long time. Her prayer is for their safety and that they would know that she and Chip are thinking of them as they serve in Zimbabwe. Pray that their hearts and mind would be protected from anything that is outside of God’s will.

Pray for Cameron today. He is a school teacher and wants to find a full time teaching position for the fall. With the economic turndown, finding a position could be challenging…..BUT GOD!

Please remember Lauren today. Her desire is that she be more bold in sharing her faith. Pray with Lauren and each of us on the team that our families, who are not in a relationship with the Lord, will have opportunities to share more about God and what HE is doing around the world when we return.

Please pray that Carolyn would not be troubled with migraines while we are in Zimbabwe. Her desire is that she might focus would be on God and that she would wear HIS name well. Please pray for her parents to stay healthy while she is gone.

Please remember English today. She has made a decision about moving in the fall believing that this is God’s next step for her. Pray for her to be strong in her decision.

Please remember Judy today as she drives the van, and once again says "goodbye" to Zimbabwe. Her desire is that she be a reflector of Jesus thru word and deed to the hurting people of Zimbabwe.

Thanks to each of you for praying with us thru our two weeks in Zimbabwe. We go with the knowledge that you are holding the ropes for us. What a blessing to know that YOU are praying and know that it will be serving God together as a team.

‘WE THANK GOD UPON EVERY REMEMBRANCE OF YOU"
