Mission Team Arrives in Uganda

Dear Friends,
Thank you for the prayers that you have lifted up for the mission team. God has heard you!!! Fourteen members have arrived safely in Uganda. The last two members of the team (Rusty and Matthew Spencer) are headed out today. We would be most grateful if you would lift up travel prayers for Rusty and Matthew as well as petitions for the rest of the team who begin their work today.

Petitions for Rusty and Matthew:

• O Lord, please command your angels concerning Rusty and Matthew . . . to guard them and protect them in all their ways.
• I pray that You would remove any anxiety from them as well as from their family members. Lord, may they channel their concerns into prayer instead of worry and may You give them complete peace.
• O God, please spiritually prepare Rusty and Matthew for what is ahead. Make their hearts hungry for You. Put your love in their hearts for the people they are about to encounter. Let them put aside their own agendas so that they might receive what You have for them.
• Lord, please give Rusty and Matthew joy in all they encounter and thankful hearts without a trace of negativity or grumbling.

• I pray that You would strengthen their souls, minds, and bodies for this day. Please Lord, give them passion to do all their work heartily, remembering that they are serving You and not man.
• I pray that Douglas, Joseph, and Kennedy would be there to joyfully receive them. Lord, may there be an immediate kinship between our team and our Ugandan brothers and sisters.
• I pray that each member of the mission team would put aside their own selfish ambition and desires so that they can work together with unity. Please grant them joy in their fellowship with one another.
• Please Lord, may each member, without exception, experience real joy in their first encounter with Mama Mary and her children. May the children love You more because of the love that the team is going to give them.
• I pray that each team member would completely trust in You and be anxious about nothing. May you watch over them and take care of them.
• O Lord, may each team member willingly submit to You and resist the devil.

We couldn't be more grateful for what you are doing. Truly, your prayers will make all the difference in what this team is able to accomplish for our Lord!

God bless you!
