To our fellow workers in Christ,
We are two weeks away from Japan! We are getting really excited as we work on all of the last details for the trip.
Please pray for us as we continue to work on testimonies and seminar topics.
Ask the Lord to give us just the right words to say and things to share.
We want to challenge and change lives while we are there. May we be His mouthpiece.
"For
I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me
a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His
command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father
has told Me, so I speak." John 12:49-50
"Walk
in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech
always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought
to answer each one." Col. 4:5-6
For dancers, a lot of injuries never completely go away. They hibernate until
you start dancing a lot more, then they re-surface. We have a more intense
dance schedule leading up to the trip (and during the trip) so we ask for
you to please pray for our physical health. We are going on this trip, taking
our bodies as one of our instruments for ministry. We do not want anything
to hinder what the Lord has us doing in Japan.
Please pray specifically for:
- Naomi's back
- Crystal's tendonitis
- Melissa's hip and ankle
- Tiffany's knees
- And that Erica and Alyssa would stay in perfect health!
Pray that the Lord would continue to draw each of our (company members) hearts
together as we prepare to minister as a team in Japan. Pray that we would
not allow any strife or disagreements to come between us, before or during
the trip. That we would stay alert and on guard against those things. We
do not want anything to distract or pull us away from the ministry opportunities
in Japan. We want to be in unity with each other and with the other team
members in Japan.
"Now
may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one
another, according to Christ Jesus, that you may with one mind and one mouth
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. 15:5-6
Keep watching for updates!
Feedback: Please let us know you are praying for us.
