Today's Prayer Request
Prayer for the Sudanese
Oh Lord, I beg that the lost will receive the seed of the gospel. I pray it will fall on good soil so they will hear the Word and understand it. Matthew 13:23a
Lord, that You would open the eyes of the lost and turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus. Acts 26:18
The 3 ladies going on the trip, myself included, are going to be hanging out with the widows that run the orhanage all day. What we know is that they are all probably christians but probably don't understand what that means. Our pastors wife, Jennifer, is preparing Bible studies on God's promises to do with them while we are there. Please be in prayer for her preparations, that we would be able to convey to them exactly what God has for us to do.
The 7 guys that are going are going to be painting the orphanage and will also be playing with the orphans all day. Please pray that they would know exactly how to fellowship with the little children. The stories I have heard about these children and how they came about being orphans is the most heartbreaking things I have ever heard! Part of the men's duties is to basically hear the children's stories and build relationships with them. These children have lost their parents in HORRIBLE ways and are heartbroken over it! I can not even begin to imagine the pain they have gone through. They NEED God's love more than ever!

Jones is a VERY good dog!
Janelle, I pray God will give you eyes to see His Spirit alive and active in Sudan. I pray that He will give you ears to listen to His Voice leading you as you serve Him. I pray that your heart, soul and mind will be ready and willing to live this adventure with passion. May He touch hearts for Christ through your team. In Jesus Name. Amen.
