Prayers for Caleb and Matthew

Today, our son Caleb and his good friend, Matthew Schuman, are leaving for their first mission trip.  I shared my heart with you on Thursday about this adventure and asked many of you to consider praying for them as well as our Children's Minister, Derek Peters.  Here is a prayer list for them and please join in and ask others to pray with you! 

Saturday, June 23:  Please pray for them to feel your peace and joy today as they make final preparations and leave this evening.  Pray that they will feel welcome and comfortable in their new "home" for the week.


Sunday, June 24:  Please pray for them to have a wonderful time praising God in worship this morning.  Pray that God would help them focus on Him rather than any distractions that might divide their attention today and this week.


Monday, June 25:  Please pray for them as they carry out their duties and responsibilities- that they would feel and see God blessing them and enabling them to do their very best today and this week.


Tuesday, June 26:  Please pray for the children that will hear God's message to them this week and that they would accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord.  Pray that Caleb and Matthew will have opportunities to share their heart with others who are searching for answers.... give them the right words, Lord!


Wednesday, June 27:  Please pray for strength and energy for the weary who are tired and ready to go home...Lord,  help them have courage and face the day with joy and peace.


Thursday, June 28: Please pray for open ears to hear what God wants to teach the leaders and the kids being taught this week... give the pre-teens who are leading a spriritual marker in their spriritual lives and that they will not be the same but be shaped more in the "mold" of Christ.


Friday, June 29:  Please pray for focus on this last day of the trip.  While joyful over a blessed week, please God help them finish the race strong and accomplish what you still have for them to do today. 

Thank you for praying and being a blessing to our families as well as countless others!
