Tell Your Friends

When you visit this blog, tell others about it. Remind them that the blog is here for each of you to use as a tool in preparation for the trip. It is only as useful as you let it be.

Leave your comments for others to be encouraged and informed. Share your prayer needs if you feel led.

How Do We Pray?

It has been a few days since I have posted anything here, but don't worry, I haven't forgotten you. Since the departure time for the trip had been uncertain I have waited until the discussions took place among the team. In light of a new timetable for this trip, how do you now pray? Same as before, but perhaps we need to step up the pace and regularity of the prayers. Maybe we need to be more specific with God in our prayers. May I encourage you to enlist a partner from the group.? Two hearts praying together and agreeing on what it is you are asking God for is both scriptural and encouraging to you as you pray. So seek a person with whom you feel comfortable and begin praying together on a daily (if at all possible) basis. Perhaps that may need to be via telephone if you can not meet in person. But PRAY.

Pray for: God's direction as you prepare for the trip.
The people of El Tamarindo that God will prepare their hearts for your arrival.
The financing of the trip.
The oneness of purpose as you plan and when you travel.

These are just starters for praying for His wisdom. Many Riversiders are praying daily for you as a team and anticipate what God is going to do through you as our mission ambassadors.

Praise to God who gives us the victory!
