Our team of 7 is leaving for the Middle East in just 5 days! We will be traveling to Palestine, Jordan and The Land of Sheba! I will give you all a give you all 5 ways to pray for me over the next 5 days and I will post more ways later in the week before we leave.
1. Pray for God to be our strength and our portion while we prepare for departure.
2. Protection from the Evil One who will be trying to thwart our every move and strength to resist temptation as well as a renewed sense of closeness of the Holy Spirit
3. Wisdom and discernment as we seek His will for our futures in the ME
4. Opportunities to meet and encourage those who do not trust in the the ONE we serve, by our actions and spirits.
5. Traveling mercies.
The Middle East is a Shame and Honor based society and so these verses have so much value and hope in them for the people of the Middle East. I am praying (please pray with me) for these scriptures to be real for them...
As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile (or Muslim)—the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him, for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone telling them? And how can they speak of the Good News unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!" emphasis added by me
