Departure Day

Greg and I are sitting here in my office, and realized that our prayer schedule ends today.  We appreciate the amount of support that we have received over the last month, with all the likes, and shares and words of encouragement.  So, with that said, we'd love for you to keep supporting us.  We have put together another prayer calendar for the days that we are gone.
If you could spend just a little more time in prayer during these next 10 days, (wow, we just realized its only 10 days, there is no June 31st) we sure would appreciate it.  These prayer request also include our families here in the US.  Please start every prayer praying through either or both of the following scriptures:

2 Thessalonians 3:1-2
Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, 2 and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.


11 To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Then you could pray for the following each day.

28th - Set up of camp, worship - both in North Africa and Hebron, Carrie's parents leave for Florida, leaving her with less support, Marissa's mom's wedding and the new relationships starting.
29th - Camp - Prodigal Son, City Tour - God grants us vision for our friends and a love of the city they live.
30th - Camp - Consider the Birds/don’t be anxious, Pray that we would form quick relationships with the students and families so we can be invited into homes within a few days.
1st - Camp - Parable of the sower, That bridges will be built above language barriers - Andersons to Harrisburg - safety in their travel to & from the Capitol of the Commonwealth
2nd - Camp - Exodus, Visit homes of students - God would use us to reveal himself to our hosts and their lives would be forever changed because of His love
3rd - Camp - Jesus calms the storm, Debrief with staff - a clear plan for future ministry would be formulated after spending the week with students and families
4th - Beach Day - Great encouragement of our missionary friends over the next few days. Hendrickson kids with a friend as Carrie is at a friends wedding, pray for Brendan and Tara's marriage. Pray for our country, that God would reveal Himself to the governmental leadership.
5th - Worship - both in North Africa and Hebron - that God would be lifted up in both places and everywhere in between, rest and relax
6th - More encouragement for our friends - relax day
7th - day of travel, safe trip home, that God causes a huge movement in the Christian church in North Africa.

Thanks for being there for us and with us. We, you and I, are God's Church. Open your eyes and ears to where he wants to use you.
