Hello all! I am writing to let everyone know that the team from First Baptist Irving has arrived safely in Entebbe. I spoke with Vernon about an hour ago and everyone was heathly and headed to bed. They will leave for Sudan in the morning around 9am which is 1am our time. We will keep you posted as they communicate back, and if the internet is good there they will be writing on this blog as well.
This mission is an exploratory mission in which First Baptist Irving will seek the Lord for further direction on how they are to partner in Sudan. This team will be doing various ministries such as: discipleship of the widows, painting the primary school at Lura, leadership for church leaders and developing relationships with the orphans.
Here are some things to pray as this teams goes forth:
Prayer for Travel
➢ Father, spread your protection over this team, that those who loves Your name may rejoice in you. Psalm 5:11b
➢ Lord, stand at their sides and give them strength, so that through them the message might be fully proclaimed and all of Sudan might hear. 2 Timothy 4:17
Daily Prayers for the Team
➢ I pray that as one of your chosen people, holy and dearly loved, each team member would clothe himself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
➢ In the morning Lord you hear their voices; In the morning may they lay their request before You and wait in expectation. Psalm 5:3
➢ I pray this team would consider their lives worth nothing to themselves, if only they may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given to them—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. Acts 20:24
➢ I pray as a team, they would be brought together today in complete unity to let the world know that You sent them. John 17:23
➢ I pray they will use whatever gifts received to serve others, faithfully administering Your grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
