Day Thirty-Three of Forty

Future Team Members

Lord, from the time you first called Dave and me to begin Children's Cup until this day, we have tried to fulfill this mission with the guidance and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Our purpose, our calling, to change the lives of little ones who are devastated, barely making it, living in the hard places of the world. To pull them out of the darkness, to bring them into the Light. To win them to Christ. To teach them to become your servants and thus change the world around them.

It became apparant one day that the job was bigger than the two of us, and you gave us help. People with like-minded spirits, with hearts full of compassion for those little ones who hurt so much.

We thank you, Heavenly Father, from the bottom of our hearts for calling these wonderful other folks to work alongside us. For giving them spirits to match ours. For calling them to serve in the hard places.

As we have already asked for your special blessings upon the current team members during our forty days of prayer, we now turn to ask your blessing on those who are preparing to serve with us soon.

Bless first grade school teacher, Christy, and help her get the budget raised that she needs to work on the field with us. Give her the right people to stand alongside her in prayer and financial support.

And for the young couple planning to pastor our church in Mozambique, prepare their hearts and lives and spirts for this task.

For some who are already praying about it...Julie, David, T.J., Annie, and others.

For the many who have just asked about working with us in Africa, many whose names we don't even know yet, we are asking that you guide them in a plain path so that they know beyond the shadow of a doubt that they are called to work on foreign soil. And please, provide the way for this calling to be fulfilled.

You know who we need to have help us, you know the skills and talents you have blessed them with, you know who will minister uncompromisingly and effectively and fearlessly...

Prepare the hearts of those whom you will be nudging, "Whom shall we send? Who will go for us?" Prepare their hearts to answer confidently, "Here am I, I will go, send me!"

In Jesus' name,
Amen
