Here We Go!

The letters are in the mail!

Almost 90 support letters went out on Monday and with an approximate $3900 bill to pay for the trip, I’m very confident that God is going to be at work in these letters and in the hearts of the recipients. That’s the only way that this kind of money will be raised!

Ona discipline note though, I need to be much more dilegent about praying each day for this trip. Not only do I need to pray for myself and what I am to be doing on this trip but also for those who will be with me during this time.

I received an email today with the participants names to pray for. Mostly ages 16-20. I am the second oldest which was expected and the next oldest is 42, a woman who works for Touch the World. Please join me in prayer for both myself and these people.

July 1st will start the journey for me as I am going down a day early before the leadership conference starts and then July 28th will mark the end as I will be back home then. 4 weeks of stretching, demanding, and some of the most spiritually rewarding times of my life.

Father, I pray for the individuals above. I pray that you keep working in their lives up the day they arrive at training camp. I pray that you bless their decision to embark on this trip and pray for financial support for them. This trip is expensive but nothing is too big for you. I pray that the members of the team can raise enough funds in time for the trip. I pray that their faith in you strengthens as the trip gets closer. I know this trip will be big for Uganda, Touch the World, and each person’s life involved. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this trip. Use each of our gifts to bring your love to this place. Guide our thoughts and help us prepare for what is ahead. It’s in Jesus’ name I pray and ask these things. Amen
