Thank you for speaking to the hearts of these dear people who have given up their time and a chunk of their lives to go to a far away place and share your great love.
Use the Team in everything they do--from the most important "hugging" and direct interaction with the kids, to the works of service such as painting and cleaning up. From teaching a Bible story to presenting the plan of salvation.
Please, Lord, keep them safe from harm or dangers. Keep them safe on the highways. Keep them safe in their beds, giving them good rest. Keep them well. Give them wisdom. Anoint their words and their works that every aspect of this trip will be effective toward bringing people to know Jesus.
And bless them with peace and joy, knowing they have served you well.
Place in each member of the team's hearts the desire to continue being a part of the lives of all they have come in contact with...to support these new friends in daily prayer and concern...for the rest of their lives.
And Lord, prepare other teams of like-minded folks who will dedicate a piece of their lives to ministering to kids in the hard places of the world, those who want to make a difference in the world. And prepare the hearts of the "specially chosen" to give the rest of their lives in full-time missions service to bringing hope to the hopeless--Hope's name is Jesus!
Amen
