Week 3: Team

I was so excited to meet the Team (minus 2) this past Saturday! I have already been fired up but now to add my excitement with the others...wow!!! I can see Alley connected with one of the couples as well, that was great to see. Being able to step out of our comfort zone is very crucial for our trip, so making these connections is very important.

This week in our Seven Weeks of Prayer is focus on our Team. Perfect timing (God's timing) as now we have a face to go with the names on our list. I just love that! We also have some specific prayer requests mentioned Saturday to add as well.

Let's start with our focus scripture: 1 Peter 4:10-11
"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."

Pray...
   
      We'd rely on the Holy Spirit (Proverbs 3:5-6)
                     *HIS Gifts
                     *HIS love and sensitivity
                     *HIS Boldness

       We'd walk in submission- 1 Thess. 5:12-13, Heb. 13:17

       Order and Unity- 1 Cor. 14:40, Matt: 18:19-20

       Protection- Health

       Provision- Financial, Strength (physical, mental and emotional)

 Here are a few personal pray requests shared by the Team on Saturday.

* Peace- few are having dreams that are turning into anxiety (or could even be the the other way around anxiety=dreams). Also peace for our families.
* Financial- few struggling to gather funds required.
                -We also need additional funds for the minitry items.
* Health/Dental issues- decision to handle now or take a chance to wait until returning from the trip.
* The Temi's- an unreached people group in Tanzania. Few plan to gather information on this people group while we are there. Pray these doors open.
*Continue to pray for translators - mainly women translators.
*Prepare our hearts.
*Prepare their hearts.

Thanks again for joining us on this journey with your prayers and support!
