¡ Hola!

We are counting down the days until we will join together as a team in Peru.  We are trusting God to give us unprecedented days of ministry but this will not be accomplished without calling out to God in prayer for His anointing and power.

Both Grace Church and Callao Church ( our sister church in Lima, Peru) began preparing through 33 Days of Prayer 2 weeks ago. Our Heavenly Father is worthy to be worshipped for He is a great and awesome God.  We ascribe to Him glory and strength; give Him the glory He deserves. We will be Serving Shoulder to Shoulder with this sister church and headquartered from their church building.

I thank the Lord for the challenging plan He has for those going on this missions trip to Peru.  This plan includes walking close to Him, helping others know and enjoy this same closeness.

Jeremiah 33:3  “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

Below are some specific prayer requests. As you can see, there is a lot of detail that is going into this trip. I hope you are feeling the excitement with me!

Prayer Focus

Prepared hearts in Peru – Pray for the thousands of people who will hear the gospel for the first time that their hearts will be prepared and open to receive the Good News.

Team Unity – Pray that we will support each other in love.  There will be many opportunities for Satan to attack us in this area.  Pray that we will stay strong.

Leadership Team – Pray for our core leaders, both on staff and volunteer, who are working long, intense hours to bring all the details together.

Housing, Meals & Water – Pray for hotel accommodations and room assignments, pray for menus, food being purchased and prepared, and pray for ample clean drinking water.

Technology – Pray for the equipment we will both bring with us and for equipment we will acquire to work with once on the ground in Peru.  Pray for the tech team and the many challenges they will face that may be frustrating and that God will give them unusual wisdom.

Journalism – Pray for those on our team who will represent our ministry to those back home while we are in Peru.  Pray for clarity, high interest items, good photos and for strength as they work on reports in the wee hours of the morning.

Good Communication – Pray that our team  will be able to clearly communicate the gospel – both verbally through translators and with our body language as we are guests in Peru.

Equipment will work – Pray over the many pieces of equipment we will be using in our programs and in the office.  This is a huge request!!!

Performing Arts – Pray for this team to have good interpersonal relationships and the Lord’s strength to perform well.

Music Teams – Pray for preparation as they learn music, for good memories – especially when singing in Spanish and pray that the Lord will use music to draw in and reach many for Christ.

AND

Flexibility – Pray that each one of us will have rigid flexibility.  As our days unfold in Peru, all of us will be called on to change the plan and go in a new direction at some point.  Pray that we will all be flexible and cooperative with our leadership and those on our teams.

Thank you for reading & praying! You don't know what it means to me to have you supporting me in this!
