Countdown to Launch: 10 More Days!

With ten more days to go, our team is just about ready. We have craft & activity supplies being delivered and packed into airline qualified crates. We have one more team meeting before we go to finish packing. We have our tickets, visas, and insurance. We could use some help through prayer. Please consider praying for the following:

1) Please pray that God will raise up people who will help us raise the final dollars for this project. We've bought everything on faith that God will deliver. God has blessed us with the funds we have already received and with the airline tickets that came in under budget. Praise the Lord!




2) Please pray for team unity. As the time crunch becomes evident to each of us, pray that God will calm our hearts and give us peace. Pray that He will unite us and keep us focused on His vision for our team's trip. Pray that each one of us would surrender ourselves to God's plan for each one of us as well as the team.



3) Please pray for the children and staff at the orphanage. Please pray that all of them would be healthy and able to interact with us during our time there. Pray that the word of God would be received & active in their hearts.



4) Please intercede for the nation of Cambodia. Pray that God would give them all what they "need" and not what they "deserve". Please become part of our "wall" & "one" who stands in the "gap" for them [Ezekiel 22:30].

5) Please pray for all of those before us who have gone to Cambodia and come back. Pray that God would keep the message that He gave each one of them alive and at work in their homes & communities.

6) Please pray for traveling mercies and safety for our team.

All of our supporters are a blessing not only to the individual that they support but to the whole team. You are a part of the team. The staff in Cambodia is a part of the team. We are all on one team. We are all on God's Team.



Thank you for reading. Please let the "traveling team" know how we can pray for YOU, our supporters. May God bless you!

Happy Thanksgiving... less than 2 weeks to go!!!!

Our team packed up most of our supplies yesterday! I cant believe the time is here!!!

Please keep all 10 of us in your thoughts and prayers this next week and a half as we pack ourselves, the rest of our supplies, and prepare ourselves and our friends and families for our departure December 3rd. We are all really excited, but its easy to become overwhelmed as we face adversity and anxiety as the time approaches. We know God is in control though and pray for his calming and peace!

Happy Thanksgiving to all our followers and supporters... if it wasnt for all of you this trip wouldnt be possible!!! We are all VERY THANKFUL FOR YOU!!!!

"Giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ..." -Ephesians 5:20

We will all be in touch on here very soon I am sure!
