Traveling Prayers

This week is a short week for us here in the mountains. All the schools have a long weekend because Tuesday is a holiday (Dia de los Muertos- Day of the Dead). As a result we will only be teaching on Wednesday at Javier and then on Thursday we are jumping on a bus and heading to Lima. Becca’s church is coming to work with the people groups they have adopted here and I am going to stay in Lima and hang out with the Hands On girls there. Both Becca and I are looking forward to this time away and some time with family and friends. It is becoming harder and harder to leave Recuay, this place we now call home, because time is starting to really move fast. When we get back from Lima we will only have three full weeks left here in Recuay, before going to Lima again and then on to Chile. So as we prepare for a short week, look forward to a trip to Lima and think about how much time we have left I am humbled to the point of prayer and ask you to join me.

-Pray for the kids at both Javier and Utcuyacu that they would remember the things we have taught them up till now and practice their English while we are gone.

-Pray for the ladies in Utcuyacu that we meet with each Friday that they would continue to meet together to encourage and share with one another on the two Fridays we will not be with them.

-Pray for the family of Ocunan that they would begin to utilize the bibles we gave them. Also pray that the rain would continue to come so that their field would be wet enough to plant their crops, because without their crops this family of eleven does not eat.

-Pray for Becca, her family, and her church as they head out to another part of Peru to minister for the week.

-Pray that while we are away both Becca and I will be refreshed and get to spend a significant amount of time in the Word and in prayer reflecting on our time already spent here and the time we have left. Pray that the Lord would continue to reveal to us pieces of His perfect plan in bringing us here.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:17b-19
