Prayer Requests: May 2013

I would love if you'd continue praying for me...

1. For the rest of my support to come in. I am currently 40% supported and am waiting for approximately $2,800 which would cover the rest of my expenses for this trip. Total support would cover airfare, the internship cost, transportation, food, an internship credit through Northwestern College and additional expenses including passport renewal and international insurance. I trust in the Lord to provide for me financially and know that He already has provided through donations from friends and families.

2. For my team members and I as we read the devotional Before You Go by Hempling. That they may be eager to embrace the culture of Shell, Ecuador.

3. For strength as we prepare mentally, spiritually and physically for this trip.

4. For clear and effective communication before and during the trip.

5. For peace for my family and me as I pack, say goodbye and travel to Ecuador.

Two Weeks To Shell!

It has been such a wonderful opportunity so far to support raise for this summer! I appreciate all of the generosity and encouragement that I have received from my friends and family. I am currently at 40.0% of my support goal of $4,800. So far it has been sweet to receive encouraging notes, uplifting phone calls and prayers from you all.

I have begun to get increasingly excited as I talk with more people about this trip! Even though I am a little anxious about it, I am resolving to trust in the Lord through my weaknesses and to serve with the intention of sharing the Gospel. I have started packing some clothes, medications, reading materials and other nick-nacks for the upcoming adventure. I have already renewed my passport and taken care of some of the logistics that go into traveling outside of the country.

I would be overjoyed if you’d continue to pray for me and my team as we prepare for our departure! Please check out the “Prayer Requests” tab on the left side for more specific details.

Bendiciones,
