"Oh the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and unfathomable His ways! For from Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all thing. To Him be the glory forever. Amen" --Romans 11:33, 36Thank you for praying for this trip. As planning continues, there is a sense that God is doing something far beyond the scope of this trip. God's kingdom purposes are bigger than just the safety and success of this trip. This trip is seeking to lay a foundation for future involvement. As these men work together it is clear that each one is uniquely gifted for this task. The mission has two churches, a school and an orphanage and a clinic. Chris is a teacher, Tim a doctor, and Ted grew up on the mission field and is a gifted intercessor. It appears that God is preparing the way for greater involvement with the mission in Haiti, and more personal involvement in ministering to the poor and disenfranchised.
The following prayer is offered with this in mind.
Holy Triune God, from whom unity and love originate, bless this mission effort with the gift of your love and grace, that a deep and abiding friendship with "The Father" and this team would grow and spread to all the church. We pray that the team would be able to grasp and communicate the vision of this mission to the church and that we would more clearly understand your heart for the poor and be moved to service. Give wisdom to these men as they seek to understand the needs and challenges of ministering to the poor and discern how we can best come alongside to help. Superintend the final planning and prepare them spiritually and emotionally for what they will face in Haiti. Go before them and bless their mission, that you may be glorified and your kingdom purposes be established in Haiti and and in our hearts. Amen.
