Africa Trip Prayer List

Hi Friends! If anyone out there is willing, we'd love for you to join us in praying for our trip to Kenya. Below I've compiled a list of some specific things you could pray for if you need ideas. We are humbled, honored and thankful that God's called us to go on this trip! We can't wait to see what He has in store! We are also thankful that God's blessed us with wonderful friends and family who've supported us in this journey. Keep watch of the blog next week during our trip for updates. Again, THANK YOU!! Prayers are MUCH appreciated!

• Pray that God would be glorified in every area of our journey and through all of our interactions
• Pray that God would break down any language barriers whether they be Swahili or Sign Language with the Deaf (Hooray for a smile being the same in any language!)
• Pray that Satan would not be able to distract us from the purpose of our trip, which is to share God's love with everyone we meet
• Pray that we will have boldness when sharing the Gospel and that God will give us His words to speak Good News
• Pray that Jarred and I would be open to all that we can learn from the beautiful people in Kenya
• Pray that God will give me insight and wisdom as to the aspects of teaching I can share with the teachers there to improve their classrooms
• Pray for safe travels to and from Kenya, as well as driving throughout the country (Kenyan roads can be a little scary!)
• Pray that our luggage would not be lost and that all of the school supplies we've brought will be in good condition to give to our two schools
• Pray that God would give us strength, energy and good health while we're there (no traveler's diarrhea!! ewww gross!)
• Pray that we'll have no trouble adjusting to the 8 hour time change both going and coming back
• Pray that God will give Jarred and I a shared vision for how we can continue to support the ongoing ministries of the Youth Center, CAREforAIDs, and the deaf in Africa for years to come

There's a lot to be nervous about, so we're letting Phillipians 4:6-7 speak to us this week! "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Thank you for your prayers!
