Prayer Needs - April 2007

The 2007 eSikhawini Medical Outreach Team is asking that you support us in prayer.

2 Thessalonians 1:10-12

With this in mind, we constantly pray
for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

1. That God would give the MOT(Medical Outreach Team) favor and protection in all circumstances.
2. That God would make Jesus Christ known to the Zulu people. That they would realize His redemption and accept Him as their Saviour.
3. That God would provide an overflowing abundance of medical supplies for the MOT to bring to eSikhawini.
4. That God would develop our team into an effective vessel - that seeks Him in all circumstances.
5. That God would deliver all of us and our luggage on time & safely to Africa and back to the US.
