Prayer Requests

A precious friend asked us this week to share requests that she could pray for and that was so meaningful. We have a list already of things we would love to post here and I'm sure we will add other things later. However, we would love your intercession on our behalf. This list is mostly specific to our needs, while later we will give more needs related to the families we are serving with in Swaziland, and the needs of the people there.

So very humbled and grateful for your lifting us up, 

~ Alli and Jennifer

Please pray:

- for willing hearts to submit to whatever God has for this trip. We want it to be about Him, not us. We want to obey by serving and giving and loving on folks, and not meet some agenda of ours. We don't even want to have an agenda!

- for peace for our families and for their time to go smoothly without us. It is a big deal that our husbands and families are ok with us going, and we do not take that for granted. It is also going to be a stretch for us to be away from them for this length of time. They need strength and energy to handle all these kiddos without the mamas around, and relief from worry about our well-being. Our children have never been away from us for this long, so we desire for them to be calm and secure in their dads and grandparents' care of them.

- for travel, health, flights, details, to all be what they should. We are not even asking for them to all work out smoothly, if part of what we're to learn is through some disappointment or frustration, or whatever!

- for God to continue to provide the finances we need. So far, He is showing us He is faithful and is sending people to encourage us and give to us. It's so humbling.

- for us to be a light throughout the process - to share why two ordinary moms and wives can go to Africa and why it's so important. We really want this trip to change us and others. We want our experience to encourage others that a mission trip like this isn't unreasonable or impossible.

- for the information we gather, and the experiences we have while in Africa will motivate others here to commit to support a care point.
