Dear Intercessory Team,
Paul shows us in 2 Corinthians 1:10-11 and in Philippians 1:19 that prayer is necessary in order to accomplish that which God sets before us. Thank you for your commitment and obedience to pray for us each day from April 28th through May 12th as we take our steps of obedience in following His call for us to GO to El Paso and Mexico on this missions trip with Mary Jean. We have complete assurance through many confirmations that this is God’s will for us. We are open to everything God desires to do in us and through us as a result of this trip.
Our two main goals are these: to love God and to love people.
Please pray for us; for eksimants and cesimants who will be staying with sksimants’ parents, wefields and dkfields; for Mary Jean, our friend and missionary who will be teaching on the Fear of the Lord and Walk Thru the Bible: Old Testament; for Tim, Susie, Josiah, and Grace – the family we will be with; for the pastors in Juarez; for the women and girls at RETO, the women’s rehabilitation center; and for all who God puts on our path.
We know that when our prayers line up with God’s prayers and His desires, the Father goes into action on our behalf! Because we want to pray the prayers that Jesus is already praying, we’ve put together this list of scriptures we’d like you to be praying over us as we’re “in the field.”
