Please pray for...
- our final preparations this week. Many of us not only have packing and lesson prep for Germany but also have responsibilities at our day job to prepare for our absence. Pray that we will have ample time to prepare in all of these ways while also preparing our hearts and minds for our week of service.
- our travel arrangements and logistics. We covet your prayers that there will be no complications throughout our travel.
- our luggage. We have several flights and our checked bags contain most of our ministry supplies for the week. Pray that it all arrives in tact and in time!
- adjusting to jet lag. We have a busy week of ministry ahead so please pray that we can adjust to the time difference, be alert, and in the clear state of mind for the week ahead.
- language barrier. Our cumulative ability to speak German is minimal. Pray that the Lord will give us the ability to transcend the language barrier and love the kids and our staff members well.
- spiritual conversations. Many of our German staff members are close friends with the missionary team here and many are curious about spiritual issues, even on the verge of making a commitment. Pray that we will be able to have these conversations and represent Christ well.
- health. Several of the missionary kid's got the flu this week and a few of our team members are beginning to feel ill. We are praying for complete healing for everyone!
