Here it is, December 23rd already, visions of sugar plums are almost dancing on my head.
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Messiah we are also preparing our hearts and minds for our journey. Lists are being made and checked. Supplies are being gathered and organized. All while we think of family time together and the task ahead of us.
Please pray for:
Team unity, that we will become focused to be the hands and feet of Jesus to friends we have yet to meet and serve.
Team health, as this is the beginning of cold and flu season in many areas, ask God to protect us from the germs and viruses that are always on the loose this time of year.
Ask God to give us strength and endurance for the (probably) long days of serving the people of Haiti that we will contact.
Pray for those of us who are making this trip for the first time and the ones who are 'veterans', we will see things we don't see at home. It can be a shock to our senses, ask God for a double portion of Grace to see us through.
Pray especially for the families who are sending us, who will be concerned that we are getting enough rest, that we are eating okay and who will miss us at the table while we are serving in Haiti. Ask God to provide peace of mind and to protect them until we get back.
I look forward to seeing some again, and other for the first time. God has an adventure for us, we bring what little we have to offer, He will provide the increase. He fed the multitude and had leftovers because He could.
Trusting Him for everything,
Garry
