Here's how you can pray...

Please pray for my team and I over the next twenty days. Here is how you can do so.

Pray that we will rely on God to give us strength when we are tired, and sick and just want to give up. Pray that we will remember Psalm 41 at all times.

Pray that we would build friendships.

Pray that God will give us the opportunity to share with the people about our reason for being there.

Pray that we would remember at all times that it's not about the place that we are but rather about the One we are there for.

Pray for us to have unity as a team, and that we would build each other up at all times, even when we just want to go home. Note: I love my team, as well as the other team that I am going with, they are some of the most amazing people that I have ever met.

Pray that we would be receptive to God's will.

Pray that the word of God would be on our hearts at all times.

Broken

So I was on facebook today when I saw that my friend's brother had posted a link, it was to this website, I Am Second on this website there is a video by a guy named Blake Mankin he talks about Africa, and talks about how broken he was when he got of the plane when he landed in Sudan. I'm leaving for Rwanda on Wednesday, and I'll be updating this while I'm gone. Until now, I hadn't thought much about how different it will be, how I will see people suffering hardships that I could never imagine. People living in a country still haunted by a terrible genocide that occurred fifteen years ago, broken by watching their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, friends and more all taken away and murdered. People who are truly broken.

Part of me scared of how broken I will become for these people, the other part in awe of God's glory and wonder knowing that whatever happens God will use this trip to change lives.

While I'm gone, I urge you to pray that the people who are going with me, as well as my self will be changed by God in these twenty days, to further become the people he wants us to be, and the people this world needs to see. Also pray for the people we encounter, pray that they see something in us that just screams hope, that just screams of the supernatural - pray that they would see Christ in us at all times.
