On the front lines

If you’re seeing this, we would appreciate your PRAYERS for us.  I’ve left 7 prayer requests, one for each day…

MONDAY – Pray for us as a team – that we would grow together in unity, preferring each other over ourselves, and in everything, showing love.  This will be our greatest witness to the Nahuatl – more than anything we say.

Jesus said:  Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples.  John 13.35

TUESDAY – Pray for our physical safety as we are in the village.  From our village, it is a long way to medical help.  We are quite remote and during rainy season it is even more difficult to access our location.  It could take us several days to get down to the coast in the middle of rainy season.  If there are any rock slides or mudslides, the road can become impassable.

WEDNESDAY – Pray that we would daily walk with God.  Pray that we would live choosing joy.  Pray that God would put a hedge of protection around us so that Satan cannot discourage, hurt, or hinder us.

THURSDAY – Pray that we would have and take opportunities to grow relationships with the Nahautl people. Pray that in everything – our actions and our words – that we would communicate love and grace.

FRIDAY – Pray for a hedge of protection around the Nahuatl people – that their lives would be preserved until they have a chance to hear the Gospel.  Pray that God would already be softening their hearts, preparing them for the gospel, and giving them a desire to know Him.

Jesus said: “For no one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws them to Me, and at the last day I will raise them up.
As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me.  John 6.44,45

SATURDAY – Pray that we would quickly grasp the sounds of the Nahuatl language.  Pray that we would remember what we’ve learned and that it would come out right.  Pray that we would learn more and more of the Nahuatl culture to understand them better.  Pray that we would always have a learners’ attitude.

SUNDAY – Pray that we would be able to rest well, be refreshed and that we would have strength to do what is needed of us each day.
