Everything is coming together

As we prepare for this trip, we know we need prayer warriors lifting us up every minute of every day. Today there are four of the nine of us struggling with winter colds and flu symptoms. One man is sick enough he is considering dropping out. There is so much work we have before us and every person is needed. We need to be prayed up and prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually for this trip. Please pray for our health in those areas.

Received word this morning that the son and daughter-in-law of one of the team members had a house fire last night with the high winds that came through and lost everything. They literally got out with their two small girls and the clothes on their backs.

We have seven days until we fly out and lots of work ahead of us. Each of us can have two fifty pound suitcases and a carry-on. Please pray also that we can discern the priority for items to go, that all luggage will weigh out at 50 pounds, that the airline would be gracious to us with overage, and that all luggage would arrive safely and in perfect shape.

  2. Don't worry. Though it may seem like all satan's demons are working against this trip, I've read where only 1/3 of the angels fell along with him. That means twice as many angels are on your side. Add to that the simple fact that satan has already been defeated and you can prepare for this trip knowing God will accomplish all he has planned. Any "inconvenience" will seem small after you observe all God will do.

    I have been praying for your trip since we visited a few weeks ago. I see no reason to stop at this point.
