Yes – only 8 days left! Wow!
What a blessing it was last night to worship with the Hope for Africa Children’s Choir. What joy and energy! (What an understatement!) It was great to see them dancing and singing and great to see some of our own dancing in the aisles at church. It also was great for me to sit next to Pastor Richard – and hear him talk about his young son back home. Also I am so proud that my son was as comfortable with him as someone he had known before last night. Isn’t it awesome to see God just confirm that we are brothers and sisters! What a joy it is to serve a God that is bigger than all of us and to serve a God that controls the whole world! Really makes me think about Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Congo, and Sudan –(5 countries in United Methodist Conference that has the orphanage for these children.) Maybe one day we will have a mission trip to serve with them and to worship together in their church. Sort of gets you fired up about sharing Christ all over the world.
Speaking of that – Today, let’s pray for the medical work that we will be a part of in Ecuador.
Pray for all of the workers coming from the states. Most of the medical team will be coming from Tennessee, but Dana and Lisa will I am sure be a part of it. And if this trip is true to form of every other one I have known about, some of us with no medical background will be right in the middle of that ministry. Pray for God to heal those that are sick. Pray for God to bless them with a new life. Pray for God to allow medicines and the staff to work for him. Pray for traveling mercies with medical equipment and pharmaceuticals. Also pray for the health of the team members. We have such a limited time to spend in country and let’s ask God to allow us to spend it all serving and worshipping together.
Don’t forget the packing party tonight.
