WOULD YOU PLEASE PRAY...

...for the fund raiser that's going on right now for my oldest daughter and her best friend Megan? They are raising money for their AIM missions trip to Swaziland. They're holding a jewelry and bake sale in front of a local grocery store and so far they've only sold a couple of cookies and a brownie.
.

1. Pray that they'll raise lots of money. They both still need to raise about $3,000 by the beginning of June.

2. Pray that they'll somehow touch lives and get folks more focused on missions and reaching His "least of these".

3. Pray for their safety. Their are about 4 teenagers and 2 pre-teens along with one mom working the sale and a few of them are doing a "road block" at a nearby intersection.

Thanks in advance!

I have misplaced your email address and did not see it anywhere on your site, so thought I would just go back to this blog since it was about what God is doing in her life. I am praying for God to continue to raise the funds for your daughter's missions trip to Swaziland! Also, praying for God to continue to prepare her heart and mind as the time gets closer. I am sure God is going to do AMAZING things through her yes and willingness to go and to love and serve the people there again. Please tell her I continue to pray for her!
