Tomorrow, several groups of students and staff from BFA will be heading out to locations around the world for Spring Break M trips.
Tomorrow, I leave for Africa!
Please pray for:
- Health. I’m the acting nurse for the trip, so I’d prefer not to have too many cases of allergic reactions, injuries, or sickness. We’ll be taking malaria pills and wearing lots of bug spray!
- Safety. We’ll be riding a train, 2 planes, and a bus before arriving in Longido, Tanzania.
- Effective work. We’re constructing soccer goals and bookshelves. Pray that those projects would go smoothly. We’re also leading a VBS.
- Team unity. We’ll be living without electricity and limited running water in close proximity to one another, eating unfamiliar food and sweating profusely in the equatorial sun. Intense experiences can lead to conflict or irritation; pray that our spiritual armor would be on and that we would each “plan peace” (Proverbs 12:20) with one another and spread joy to those around us.
- Love. Pray that we would demonstrate God’s love to the children and to each other through willing, joyful service.
