Prayer Itinerary
Friday January 23, 2009 - Pray for travel mercies as a few of our team members fly out of Minneapolis, MN via Atlanta, and on to Quito Ecuador. We will arrive late into Quito, around 11:00 pm. Pray that we make our flight connections and all our luggage arrives safely. If our luggage doesn't arrive all at one time, pray that our team would model grace, patience and f-l-e-x-i-b-i-l-i-t-y.
Saturday January 24, 2009 - Orientation day with Youth World, the ministry with which we are working. We will also visit Old Quito this day and get a "Big Picture" view of the city, the people and the culture. Pray that our team will be eager to learn about the culture. Pray for our health as we adjust to the altitude and the different foods we will eat.
Sunday January 25, 2009 - Today we worship at Carmen Bajo Church which serves as a site for Compassion International. After the service we will travel 5 hours southeast of Quito via bus to the orphanage in Shell. Pray that we, as a group, would be united in Holy Spirit. Pray that we would be able to adapt to changing circumstances and that we would be flexible to changes in a cheerful and humble manner. Pray that God will give each member an "aha" eye-opening moment.
Monday January 26 - Thursday January 29, 2009 - We are partnering with the ministry La Caso de Fe Orphanage in Shell. We will be working long days at the 7 acre orphanage complex on a variety of construction projects. Pray for safety, energy, no equipment breakdown, laughter and health. Pray that our hearts will be shaped for faithful fruitfulness. Pray that our families back home won't worry too much about us...but that they will miss us!
Friday January 30, 2009 - We travel back to Quito today, Pray for us as we say good-bye to people that worked with us. Pray for the health of our team and protection from sickness. Pray that we will have a cheerful and humble spirit. We have our final debrief of our trip. Pray for our team that we will see the blessings God has resourced us with in order that we might be a blessing to others who serve and minister overseas. We'll head north of the equator to La Hacienda (which means Place of Refuge) retreat site. Pray that we will process and write down all that has taken place in the 8 days we have been in this different culture. How do we best communicate what has taken place in our lives to those we love? We will have an evening communion service in the mountains.
Saturday January 31, 2009 - Today, we head home. Pray for protection from theft and that going through customs will go smoothly. Pray for travel mercies and some sleep on the way home. We thank the Lord for our families that await us.
Sunday February 1, 2009 - Yes, it is Super Bowl Sunday, but our team will have their heads spinning as they re-engage/re-adjust to life back home in Fargo - Moorhead. Pray for the families of the team members as the guys share their hearts with their families and fatigue on many levels will settle in.
Sunday February 8, 2009 at 9:00 am - Pray that this time of sharing during the Sunday School hour would plant seeds in the hearts of other men and students to participate in an upcoming mission trip in the future. We would love to have you come and join us!
