How You Can Pray For Us

We are currently in the middle of signing people from our congregation up to pray for us. While I could care less about having names on a sign-up sheet, I really do want to know that people are praying. It occured to me that perhaps posting specific prayer needs would be helpful to anyone who is praying for us, so here are some ways in which we need prayer:


  • That God would be glorified on this trip - by the way we relate to each other and to the Lakota people.
  • That some will come to know Jesus as their Saviour. We will be actively sharing our faith and will be attending church every night. "It's all about souls."
  • For health and safety for our crew memebers ....
  • For Charles who is going with a bad knee and will be having surgery on it when we get home.
  • For Cliff (my dad) who is safely the oldest person on our crew and will be affected by the heat and grueling schedule more than the rest. He is doing great physically but the cancer treatment does tire him out more easily.
  • Several of our crew are affected by motion sickness - a problem when we travel for 4 days
  • Andrenia who lost her uncle just before leaving and may not be able to attend the funeral
  • Debbie who is awaiting word from a biopsy while on the trip
  • Jean who is leaving behind her ill husband.
  • Amber who is working 60 hours this week at her job and trying to cooridinate the details of the trip. Pray for strength since rest is not much of an option. Also pray for wisdom as I deal with the usual chaos of the trip.

If you are praying for us, please leave us a comment to let us know. That would really encourage us - a lot. As always, thank you for your support!
