Prayer Requests

Ø Pray that I would grow in my walk with the Lord and be consistent with my personal time with Him; and that my prayer life would be strong and vital.

Ø Pray that I would be honoring to God in all that I do; so that he will be glorified for anything I may, through His strength accomplish.

Ø Transferring plane ticket smoothly - I had to buy a ticket for the wrong date because they don’t sell tickets far enough in advance for me to get a flight home after the school year is over, please pray that when the times comes to transfer that ticket to the new date everything goes smoothly.

Ø Pray that I would stay healthy.

Ø Pray that I would have regular and successful access to the Internet so I can stay in touch with everyone at home.

Ø Pray that my computer would work well with no problems.

Ø I have been verbally promised that there is a small stipend available for my expenses while on the island. Unfortunately, it has been really hard to pin down the actual amount. Pray that God would provide the resources that I need to participate in this amazing missions opportunity.
