Welcome Prayer Partners

One week from today we will be in route to Trinidad! Wow!

Your name has been provided by one of our team members as a person who would pray for our trip. We are thrilled to have you as a partner in this work.

Our goal is to update this blog site daily while we are there so that you can keep up with all that God is doing on our trip. Each day, a friend in the US will send a reminder to you to check the site, along with the link. Click on the link for updates. Each day we will send some prayer requests and we would be honored if you would join us in prayer.

We would ask, above all, that you give an Epaphras Effort on our behalf. Paul describes Epaphras' effort in Colossians 4:12, "Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God." Please pray that we would stand mature and fully assured in the will of God.

Specifically, we would covet your prayers for a few details as we prepare to leave:

  • Passports - we still have 6 team members whose passports have not arrived. Pray that God would ensure they arrive prior to our departure on 7/28
  • Unity - Pray that our team of 41 would be unified in spirit and purpose, and that His unity would be a witness to those around us
  • Compassion - Pray that God would be working in our hearts, giving us compassion for the lost and least of these
  • Divine Appointments - Pray that God would ordain situations and opportunities to do ministry

As of right now, the plan is to do VBS every morning in a local orphanage, then spend the afternoons and evenings assisting TTUM (Trinidad & Tobago Urban Ministry) in whatever ministry they are doing.

Thank you so much for joining us on this journey. We believe God has ordained the trip, the team, and the details and we are confident He will accomplish His purpose. We pray that He will be glorified in all we say and do.

For the Sake of His Name in Trinidad
