Our Prayers for the Poland Team

So we just said goodbye and prayed for the Missions Team to Poland.   What an awesome bunch of people who are willing to step out of the boat and trust that God will carry them over the water.  

Dear Heavenly Father
You know each of these team members, you have know them since before they were born, you have known that the day would come when they would set out on this journey to Poland and you already have plans in store for them.   Our prayer is that each of them will have eyes to see your grace and mercy, ears to listen for your voice even in the littlest of things, hands that will always be willing to do whatever work that you set in front of them, and feet to walk the miles of this journey with you by their side.   We pray for a heart of patience, courage, understanding, and compassion.  We pray that each of them will be able to understand that different is just different and to embrace it.   We pray that they will understand that Poland does not need "America" but rather that Poland need You.  We know that in order to build this team up you may need to tear down walls within each of them.   Give compassion and patience to each member of the team so that as they face those moments of tearing down they will support each other through them. We pray for a spirit of joy and love so that they are willing to listen to each other through the stories of how Great You Are.     We pray for your traveling mercies today and for flexibility when things may not go accoring to our plans.   We thank you in advance for all that You will do with this team and we pray that each of us left behind will trust in you completely.   - Amen.

The team is in two vans on their way to JFK airport where they will catch a plan to Warsaw, Poland tonight at 11:00 PM and then a train to camp tomorrow afternoon.   Please be praying for the 4 men below as they have 16 hours of driving ahead of them.
