Team Ube Departs Tomorrow!

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday. A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge- then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation." Psalm 91 NIV

Please keep the team in prayer as we prepare to depart Friday morning. Our flight leaves from Atlanta at 1 PM and the team will arrive in Japan about 7:50 pm local time Saturday evening. Pray for strength to endure the long flight, ease of time through customs, short lines and wait times and pray that the team is prepared for the challenges that await. Pray that the team comes together in unity and purpose and fully serves God's purpose in Ube. Continue to pray for those preparing for the team's arrival.

Thank you so much to all who have supported us, those who continue to pray for us and to those who are preparing for the team's arrival. Look for the next update from the team on the most fitting of days, Easter Sunday, as we celebrate our risen Savior at Lighthouse Church.
