This weekend, KC and I traveled to my home church in Reese, MI. We sang a song as a musical offering, and gave a presentation of our trip between services. It’s my prayer that God spoke to the people and opened the hearts that need to be opened. It’s an incredible blessing to get to travel to Haiti and be God’s hands. It’s an equal blessing to get to prayerfully and financially support those that are called. God’s work isn’t possible without a community of believers behind it. We’re planning on putting together a prayer team for the trip. This group of people will be well informed of progress and concerns, praises and prayer requests. They will have a detailed itinerary and specified things to pray for each day. I believe so much in the power of prayer and the protection it provides. The Bible paints a beautiful picture of the importance of prayer. Just one example:
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:13-16
We had two women sign up for the prayer team, and I left the church feeling so much joy. I feel so much peace about the trip, and I know God will provide people to support us in prayer and finance. I’m so grateful for getting to go home and see my church family. God is so good.
