Ethiopia Prayer Itinerary, Part V
Sun-Sun, July 18-25…Ministry days. In the Alaba Team, Alan will be teaching I Corinthians to all the church leaders, Danny will be teaching I Timothy to prisoners, and Dave & Danny will be going village to village teaching. On Sundays, they will each be preaching in various churches. Pray for good receptivity, for organization (Alaba’s culture is fairly unorganized), for Spirit-guidance, for team-work. Meanwhile the Ultrasound Team will be teaching sonography all day, with lectures and hands-on learning. Pray for the staff to understand & ‘get the hang of it’ quickly. We have only 7 days to teach them; it’s a high learning curve, and we need the Spirit’s help! As the days pass, the fatigue sets in & self-discipline becomes crucial. Pray! For everyone, Ethiopians & Americans, pray for health.
Mon, July 26…Tying things up. The Alaba Team will have one last day to connect with the evangelists that have been their prayer partners, and to meet with the elders. Pray for wisdom & bonding. The Ultrasound Team will spend all day travelling back to Addis. Pray for safety in travel.
Tues, July 27…The Alaba Team will join the Ultrasound Team in Addis; they will have a few hours to shop, and then will have a last supper together before we all board the airplane. Pray for Dave & Becky as they have last meetings & tie up loose ends. Pray for safe travel; again, Dave will fly separately from the rest of us.
Wed, July 28…Everyone will, Lord willing, arrive safely in their homes in the USA. Pray that the seeds of truth & training will remain in the hearts & minds of the Ethiopians, and that God will bring Himself glory as His Word accomplishes His purposes. Pray for the clinic staff to retain & practice what they have learned. Pray for the Ethiopian church leaders, translators & youth corps as they recuperate & absorb their ministry experience. Pray for all your prayer partners that are around the globe; thank God for their faithfulness alongside of you, in upholding this work.
