Answered Prayer

Good Afternoon,

The luggage was delivered today so thank you for your prayers and praise God!!

All is well with the team. They have mainly been working at the clinic since they didn't have any materials to really conduct a VBS type ministry with the kids. Now that the luggage has arrived, they'll have some items to help them reach out to the kids and have fun with them. They were able to do some sports outreach and through that had the opportunity to share the gospel with a few people.

To give you an idea of what a typical day looks like, here's their schedule:

6:30AM - wake up

7:00 - breakfast

7:30 - 12:00 head out to the mission site and begin working

12:00 - 1:30 lunch/rest

1:30 - 6:00 back to work

Here's how you can pray for the team tonight:

- They still do not have running water. They are able to rinse off with lake water. Tim said it's not as bad as it sounds or could be, but I'm sure they would love to take an actual shower.

- The folks that had a rash are doing fine. They believe it must be an allergic reaction to something but it is not hindering them from working or enjoying the trip. Praise God for that!

- Sustained energy and strength to continue the hard work they are up against.

- For the children's ministry team...to love on those kids & to learn from their simple, loving spirits

- For the sports team...to enjoy playing soccer with the locals and that the Lord would open up opportunities to share Christ with the men and teenagers with whom they'll play.

- Pray for the Lord to allow the locals to be receptive to the gospel and that his kingdom would be increased by the testimonies of our team. Pray for boldness of sharing the gospel and for the Holy Spirit to guide their words, for them to be confident and comfortable when speaking.

- Praise God for delivering the luggage!

- Praise God for keeping the team in high spirits and united.

Thanks for keeping up with us and for your prayers.

Blessings,
Kelli Coblentz
