Prayerful

One of the fortifiers to the Gospel is prayer. Without prayer:  the gospel can neither be preached effectively, proclaimed faithfully, experienced in the heart, nor practiced in real life.  The reason is very simple: by leaving prayer out of the catalog of religious duties, we leave God out, too, and His work cannot progress without Him.        - E.M. Bounds
 Ask the Lord to send forth His spirit to…
Prepare hearts
Give Mercy
Give Grace
Open eyes
His word would prevail mightily
Boldness to proclaim
Good soil
We would have a faith that pleases God
 The Lord cares about all the details of our lives.  Ask him to…
Give safe travel
Good health
Christ like attitudes
Minds ready for action
Give us the best plan and places to work.
I want to be in a state of prayerfulness throughout this summer for my team and the people we will meet. I know God is planning great things and is ready for more people to accept his word, I just pray that I will be a part of that and will not be in the way. I need a heart that is completely broken for the loss. I want to care more for the salvation of others than anything else in this world because that is all that truly matters. Thank you so  much for all your prayers. Pray daily that will be be bold and courageous enough and rely on God's power to share his word and expand his Kingdom.

Getting ready for Thailand!

I am so excited to have the opportunity to be in Thailand in less than a week! I want to ask you all to be praying for the Thai people, that their  hearts will be softened and that God will open their ears to hear the truth. Pray for the children, that they will be open to a loving God and accept Him as their Father. Also, pray for the other girls heading to Thailand to serve this summer. We need strength for the summer and courage to share the good news. God has called us to teach English and serve the community we will be in and share his love.
Team A:
Catherine Ashe
Bailey Bankston  
Team B:
Kaitlyn Odom
Amy Cate
Team C:
LaRanda Westbrook
Rebekah Sylvest
I cannot wait to meet these girls and begin serving with them!
