I am acutely aware of my inability to impact a single person, let alone the entire country of Turkey, apart from God. I am desperately dependent on him, yet I realize that his dreams and desires for these people far exceed my feeble dreams. I want to bring the desires of God's heart to reality, and I cannot do this alone.In Ephesians 6, Paul tells the church to put on the spiritual armor that will protect them and then commands, "Pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel..." (vs. 18,19)
I ask for the same thing as I prepare for this trip. Each member of my team will be seeking out 100 people who will pray for the two weeks we are gone and also leading up to our departure. If this is something you feel God leading you to commit to or if you would like more information about this opportunity to partner with me in God's work, please send me an email so I can get in touch with you with specifics. Thank you so much for your support and I pray that God will bless you with a heart that feels what his feels!
Hey Laura, nice job on the blog. Seeing your pictures and reading your words makes me really miss you and your influence on other students. I'm so proud of you and the life you are choosing to lead!
