Dear God,
First of all, I want to thank you for constructing this amazing team. Its incredible how you see the big picture and see every individual and how we will contribute to the team. I know that you have a place for all of us on this team, and I pray that we will all look to you and follow you in our personal calling to help strengthen the body of Christ.
I pray for every one individually; My leaders- Sean, Esther and Tara. Please give them discernment and fellowship with each other in you so that they can make the best decisions for the team. I pray that all of us teenagers will respect them and love them and obey them unquestionably.
I pray for my teammates- Abby,Ben, Becca, Caitlin, Connor, Daniel, David, Emily, Garrett, Myself, Jake, Jennifer, Julie, Laura, and Taylor. Let us come together from all of our different life styles, backgrounds, and personalities to ultimately glorify you. Let us learn to completely trust each other, to break down those walls and to see inside each others hearts. I realize that there will be immense stress and stressful situations. There will be sickness, homesickness, disagreements, misunderstandings, and less than perfect living conditions. I pray that instead of falling apart during those times, we will back each other up, LOVE each other to the fullest capacity, and give each other hope when their seems to be none.
Most of all, please let this trip glorify YOU every minutes of every day that we are on it and every day afterwards.
Thanks for putting us all on this trip. Only you can see the outcome, but we all know that if we follow you in unity, it will be incredible.
In your name, Amen!
I completely believe that this team has been constructed supernaturally. I have seen God's hand in every part of this trip-but especially in the team members. I just wanted to thank you all for the encouragement that you all have already put into my life, and I haven't met most of you yet! There is definitely some walls up in my own heart, and I'm praying that God will not only break those down inside of me, but in every other teammate as well. This trip is going to rock our socks off! 13 days.
