Keep Praying - Peru 2010

One of the key things I've learned when serving on missions is to be flexible. I think this is important because we have to depend on the Lord's plan and power constantly.

Here's a few prayer items you can lift up to the Lord for the mission team as we seek to move forward resting in Christ (Matthew 11:28-30; John 15:5) and His power to provide resources and wisdom.

1. Copies - We still need to have all our copies of handouts to make binders for the people attending the conference to be completed today. We have until 2:30 PM at the latest to see this come together. Please pray that the Lord would provide.
2. Dr. Tolbert - Dr. Tolbert will be speaking to the fraternity of pastors this morning at 9:30 AM on being a good father to their children and also about the conference. Pray for the Lord to use this time to equip His leaders for His glory.
3. Schools - We learned yesterday that our mission team will be able to be in a High School tomorrow morning at about 10:30 AM and in a Middle School on Thursday morning at about 10:30 AM. Please pray for the mission team members who'll be sharing on moral purity to the high school students: Rob, Marci, Corey, Blanca, and myself.
4. Other Opportunities - I also learned yesterday that a Church I preached in last year on Wednesday night has invited me to come back this year on Wednesday night. My teaching schedule for the conference allows for me to step into this opportunity; however, we're trying to see if a translator is available to go with me. Please pray that God would accomplish His will and encourage and challenge His people with His Word.
5. Conference - Well, the conference is scheduled to begin today (Tuesday, June 29th)! You'll remember from an earlier blog that I introduced the team members to you and also shared when they would be teaching. You can review that blog to see who's teaching today and at what time they're teaching so you can be praying for them. Pray that God would be glorified and that our dependence would rest completely on Him and Him alone.

Thanks again for all your prayer support. Also, please remember all the ways God working is working both at home and around the world. For example, I believe a VBS team from Woodland Park Baptist Church in Hammond, LA is beginning an outreach today - they're taking VBS to our community! Please pray for good weather, strength, resources, wisdom, etc. I'm definitely praying for them in Peru.

Isn't it great to know that God never drops a call and that His coverage map has no gaps? Praise the Lord for all the unsearchable ways He ways and works!
