The Power of Prayer

Hello, loved ones! 

Training starts Monday and I am excited to get my summer started!  I have been in contact with my teammates this past week and can't wait to work with each one of them!

Now comes the time where all of you become crucial! My team's success this summer relies upon our dependence on The Lord for strength, wisdom, energy, and humility. This isn't always an easy task, and we all understand that it will be a challenging summer. This is why the prayer warriors (YOU) in our lives are so important! 

I asked my teammates what special prayer requests they had going into the summer. My hope is that you would pray for each one of these requests and that The Lord would be continuously working in each one of our hearts. Missions are not possible with out the spiritual support that our friends and family offer us, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for lifting us up!

"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it." - John 14:13-14 


Requests:

-Positivity, especially when days are long and tiring.
-Trust that God will take care of our friends and family back home and comfort for any homesickness we may have.
-That we would remain humble in serving God and always direct compliments and praise back to the One that deserves it. 
-That the new community development position on our team would be Spirit led and that God would do some amazing work through it!
-Strength and wisdom to lead the hundreds of students and leaders coming to work at the All Saints camp. 
-Relationships to be Christ-centered and loving between our team, the students and leaders coming, the full-time missionaries and the community. 
-God's strength through difficult times and flexibility to adapt to whatever may be thrown at us. 
-God's energy to be provided, espcially at our weakest moments. 
-That each one of us would remain Christ-centered in all the work we are doing. 
-Cultural sensitivity. That we would remember that we are no better than those we are serving. 
-Safety and hydration in the heat! 


Amen.
