The Power of a Prayer Team

I met with a lady last week who has just returned from the very place I will be in Haiti. She shared her experience, we looked at photos, she shared stories of different parts of the trip and many more things were shared. Since then the Holy Spirit continues to remind me of one thing she shared- "Make sure you have a prayer team". Oddly enough I have been working through some of the classic Spiritual Disciplines with a group of high school students on Monday Nights and all the Disciplines involve the Discipline of Prayer.

Often I step before I pray.

I have unlimited access to the Creator of all things, the Sovereign One yet I often do not call upon His Great Name and seek His good and perfect will for my life. As I seek to discipline myself in prayer I ask that God's people would also come to my aid. "Make sure you have a prayer team".

I do and it is you!

I will be using this blog to keep you up-to-date on ways you can be praying for me as I prepare, go and return from Haiti. Thank you very much for your support. Through you and others I received all the money I needed for this trip. I also want to remind each of you that you truly are a part of this trip. James 5:16 declares "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." I believe that more will be done through our prayers then through me going.

Dear God,
May You unify this random group of people as we submit our wills to Your Will. Break our hearts for the world around us that is living in pain and darkness. Continue to supply Your church in Haiti with grace, power and faithfulness to Your Kingdom. By their example of faithfulness my we be challenged and changed. Help us make today about You. We love and so desperately need You.
Amen
