In just a little over 24 hours from right now, our team of 11 will assemble for prayer before loading into a van with trailing vehicles holding our luggage, and heading to O'Hare Airport. Our team has had to pray through and invite God to conquer several difficulties that have arisen in the past couple of weeks. He has answered many prayers, so we leave tomorrow ALREADY with joy having experienced God's love and power on our behalf. Thank you for praying thus far.
One of our team members has put together an excellent daily prayer list that equips you with specifics for continued prayer. That content is below.
Please also pray for our two middle school kiddos and the awesome team of folks loving on and taking care of them while we are gone. JJ and I could not travel and minister together without them. We are blessed indeed!
I will try to update this blog daily when we are on the ground there...depending on electricity being on and wifi working.😋
Thank you so much! And may God bless you with peace and compassion.
Love, JJ and Andrea
Bangladesh Prayer Guide
October 20-28
Please pray for:
Safe travels/no delays, etc. Eleven of us will be traveling for a day and a half on three different planes each way. That our luggage will be with us. That we will be able to sleep on the plane. That our connections work out. That we get from one plane to the next. That we can be a good witness as we travel. We will be with our partners CSS from 10/22-10/26 (Remember there is about a 12 hour time difference.)
Health for all of us. That we remain healthy, That we remember to drink only bottled water. That we remember to use the insect repellant.
Stamina for the team. We will have full days
In the mornings we will be teaching with the LTP students. These are young adults who have been part of CSS and are currently college age and the next generation for Bangladesh. That we make heartfelt connections. That the teachings are clear in presenting the God honoring questions. That the translators understand the topics and can explain them well. That the message will be internalized and remembered. For God to use us and our stories as we share in break out groups.
In the afternoon we will have teaching/worship with Home Of Blessing girls. There will be approximately 300 girls who live in dormitories that will be attending. We will be running a VBS type program with a skit and worship. That the stories will be understood as the translators express the meaning of the Bible account.
Crafts…that all goes well. That we have enough supplies. That we are able to have fun with the girls. That they will enjoy the time together and their projects
That we will provide general encouragement for CSS staff, the girls, and all those we encounter.
That we provide support and encouragement for each member of our team, and we love and respect each other unconditionally.
That we are on the edge of out seats in anticipation of the wondrous and small things that God is orchestrating.
Boldness to step out in faith and be open to trust in God in all that we do.
As we return home that we would be able to express the the feelings and work of the Holy Spirit that we experienced on our trip.
