WE NEED OUR PRAYER WARRIORS TO GO TO BATTLE! During all 4 services yesterday the upcoming Africa teams were commissioned. This is a nice way for the church to see those that are going. And it is also a reminder for the church to PRAY for those teams. The following are some specific ways you can pray:
1. Continued
guidance for those making decisions regarding the teams and
construction both here (Pastor Dave, Dan Jacobs, Jamie Lengacher, Steve Henry)
and in Africa (Mwangi, Staci Wells, Margie Helmuth, Jim Vanderhoof)
2. Traveling
safety both in flights and
especially ground transportation once the
teams arrive in Kenya.
3.
Gifts and tools for construction will be taken by various team members. We pray that they make it to Kenya with the teams
4.
Families that are left behind. Many times it is much harder to stay home than to go!
5.
Preparations. Pray that each team member will remember to take time to not only physically prepare to go but also spiritually prepare.
6. For the
babies! These precious little ones whom God loved so much that he motivated a church half way around the world to come to their aid. We want to be able to continue to bring them to full healthy lives, to find Kenyan families to adopt them and to finish the center so more babies can be saved!
As Pastor Dave shared yesterday, we are battling for Generation Next to come to know Jesus as their personal savior. When Jesus was on this earth he reached those who didn't know him thru his great love and compassion. In the same way we have great love and compassion for not only the babies at the center but for the community and country where they live. It would be awesome if EVERY PERSON in our church were able to go hold the babies in person. But what would be even MORE awesome is if EVERY PERSON in our church would spend time in prayer for the babies. Would you consider it today?
