Prayer for the Ube Mission

"Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear." Isaiah 65:24 NIV

Tonight, In Focus Sunday School class hosted a testimony and prayer event at the home of John Woodard, the director of In Focus. The Ube Mission trip was blessed in that, among other things, a portion of the prayer event was dedicated to prayer specifically for the Ube Mission. Below are the requests that were prayer for:

• That the team will come together in unity and purpose;
• That the team will be sensitive to God's leading as they continue to plan and facilitate the outreach;
• For God to go before the team to remove any obstacles it may encounter;
• For God to open the hearts of those in Japan who the team will have the opportunity to impact through the mission trip;
• For God to be evident through team members' actions and interactions as the team works on the building;
• Provision of finances for team members to purchase construction materials;
• Safety as the team travels;
• Prayer Walking in neighborhoods within Japan - sensitivity regarding what to pray and where to go;
• That the Japanese people to turn from their belief in many gods to understand who the one true God is, and their need for Him;
• For the missionaries assisting the team - Wes & Susan Taylor and Chuck & Jan Burwell.

We ask that you join us in continuing to pray through these requests in the days and weeks leading up to the trip. Tomorrow the team will continue preparation and bonding by sharing testimonies at their team meeting. A team picture will be made and soon a prayer card with the team's itinerary will be available!
