Prayer Suggestions
“…and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8b
Acts 1:8b
THE TEAM:
- Focus on GOD and what HE wants from us, not our own agenda. Intimate times w/ Him; REVIVAL! Clarity in what God wants to teach us and how He wants to use us. Use this to increase our obedience to Him.
- Our eyes will be opened to spiritual warfare not only in Haiti but everywhere; that we will become prayer WARRIORS.
- Literally broken hearts and tears for the lost; filled w/ compassion for the poor, oppressed, widows; hearts of flesh not stone.
- Unity & flexibility; we’d be an encouragement to believers in Haiti and Joy House staff.
- Boldness to share the Gospel!! For Haitians to trust in the finished work of Jesus!
- Community while we’re there – no isolation; family-like bonds. Team members who still need financial support for the trip, increased faith
- Favor w/ communicating with Haitians; learning the language – pick it up quickly.
- Salvation for those back home; changed lives of believers praying and going. Families and loved ones of those going: rely on the Lord and church body (salvation, increased faith).
-Diligence & faithfulness for our prayer warriors (200+) – that God will show all of us his goodness and that he is still faithful to answer prayer.
- Safety, against sickness/injury; hydration!
DANIELLE:
-HYRDATE HYDRATE HYRDATE! Hydration the source of all my requests!
-Malaria medicine: that I won’t get nauseas/sick (I stopped taking it in Nicaragua about half way through because it was making me so sick) I take it daily from the 15th-July 2nd!
-Motion sickness (there’s a hot, bumpy, long car ride to Gressier) and in Nicaragua I didn’t make it! Staying hydrated should help!
-Boldness to share the Gospel, I’ve learned I’m a chicken even in no-risk of rejection circumstances. Also as I share with people upon my return, that I would not shy away from what the Lord taught me there, how He changed me, and where He is at work.
