Prayer

This is a blog with a purpose.  The power of prayer cannot be underestimated in a mission situation.   Teams that have prayer cover are more effective, healthier, more sensitive to the Holy Spirit and are over all better to be on.   The difference between having prayer and not having prayer on a team is physically tangible.  Those of you who have been on teams will understand this well.  I have been on several teams that had great prayer cover.  The result was a team that was truly friends, a country and church that was impacted, meetings and devine appointments, health and love.    I have been a team that did not have prayer cover. The result being team members sick everyday,  team meetings that were awkward and unproductive, a community that was reached physically but not spiritually and a team that split up upon hitting the USA.

So please please, never undervalue the power of prayer.  Below is a prayer I am asking you to pray for the team I am on right now.  May 15-25th

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for who you are, for your love and for your Grace.  Lord I lift up the King's Way team that is in Haiti right now.  Lord I ask for health over their team and the people they work with, Protect them from disease, from people that would cause problems, and from any attack of the enemy against them.  Lord I call angels to protect them in every move, from slivers to robbers cover them with your blood.  I ask that you would give them divine appointments and your divine wisdom.  I pray peace, health and love over the whole team and those with them. Protection when traveling and that all the flights would be on time and the luggage get thru with out a problem.  Lord your will be done.

I ask this in your name, and I thank you in faith that it will be done.

Amen



THANK YOU!

used or new?

To be or not be?  Decaf or regular?  Gieco or Allstate?  Yes my blog world world friends, these are the ever important questions in life.  To be pondered, to be tried, to be asked and to be answered.
Today yet one more question was added my already question filled life.. .  used or new?   Set the stage, I leave for Haiti on Sunday next.  Where I am going there is no plumbing, no electricity, and no running water. So the team is taking a portable camping toilet, this makes sense.   So after a quick look on Amazon I found portable toilets, 7 new from $14.99 (no problem) and 1 used from $18.99.  excuse me but why used? Who sells a used Port-a loo?! why is this considered ok? Why is the used Port- a- loo more expensive than the new one? do YOU consider it ok?  If you do consider this ok,  stop reading now, get out and stop polluting my blog!      This indecent incident got me thinking (as well as laughing) what else could there be out there being sold used??  below are some references:
