Yes, I know that I have not uploaded what HE has been doing down here in two weeks. This does not mean that I have not written...so you can rest assured that I have each week documented but have had difficulties uploading for the past two weeks. Please forgive me and know HE is answering your pryrs and moving in a MIGHTY WAY down here.
I am going to have my first volunteer team from my club to come and help start the work in Palenque! I am so excited about these 10 youth and their leaders that are coming to serve. Please pry for them during this week. Here is what you can pry:
June 11: Lord, we bring Mackenzie and Rian to You today asking that you fill them with Your Spirit. May they learn to hear You clearly and discern the steps that You have ordered for their day for your glory. Give them strength as they lead this youth group to love with Your steadfast love, to pray fervently, to live in radical obedience to You, and trust You completely. Guard their hearts and minds as they prepare for their next adventure with You. – Oh how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me…I understand more than the elders for I keep Your precepts. Psalm 119:97-98, 100
June 12: Lord, ignite a passion in Mallory’s and Micah’s heart for You, Your Word, and Your people. May they see through Your eyes, love with Your love, and place all their faith in the power of Your Gospel Saving Message. May they lay aside their agenda for this trip and seek earnestly for Your agenda and Your plan for the next week. - For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:10-12
June 13: Lord, prepare our hearts to serve You and that will be used by You and for You. Let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be pleasing to You, Our Lord and Redeemer. Give us a desire and a longing to reach the unsaved with the Gospel. Give us Your desires and grant us an open door of opportunity to minister the Word with anointing and power. Protect the team as they travel to Colombia and may all go according to Your Will. - Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 2 Corinthians 5:20
June 14: Lord, we ask in the Name of Jesus that you go before us as we enter into Palenque. Prepare the way for us, clearing any obstacle from our paths. Place Your angels around us, the vehicle, and the house where we will stay. May we put on Your full armor today as we head out to battle for Your Name. - Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel. Ephesians 6:10-19
June 15: Lord, protect our minds and our bodies from any attacks from the enemy today as we seek to share Your Truth and Love with the Palenqueros. May all the work done today be done for Your Glory. Give us strength to endure the hot sun as we play with youth and kids and prepare soil and plant seeds physically and spiritually. He put another parable before them, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32
June 16: Lord, draw the Palenqueros to You today as they worship a dead spirit. May they see Your Light in us and come to receive Your Truth. Prepare us to speak Your Truth in love when they do come. May You bring persons of peace to us that the missionaries may have more contacts and opportunities in this village to plant Your church. Fill us with energy as we leave Palenque and go to work at the orphanage. - Finally, brothers, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you, and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one. 2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
June 17: Lord, open our eyes to see the many ways in which we can worship You. Allow us to understand our Colombian brothers and sisters through Your Spirit. Use us to teach the youth and children more about You during Sunday School. Use us to allow the Harpole’s, Riffle’s, Gomez’s, and Eric to rest in You as we clean rooms, repair, and play with the kids. - Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:27
June 18: Lord, thank You for a day of rest and fellowship! May we use today to reflect on all that You have done in Our Lives and in the lives of the Colombians and Palenqueros. Thank you for this time to process all that we have seen You do. May we come away refreshed, renewed, and eager to be used by You everyday! - All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11: 27-29
June 19: Lord, we ask that You will watch over us as we travel. Open up our eyes for ways to share Your Gospel message with those around us in the airplane and airport. May we each have an opportunity to share with someone the change that You have done in our lives through this trip. May we take the time to give You thanks for this amazing opportunity. And may we commit to pray for what You are going to do over the next week, month, and year in Colombia. – And when his time of service had ended, he went to his home. Luke 1:23
June 20: Lord, we ask that You fill Kendall with Your Spirit. May she rest in You today. Protect her as she returns to Palenque. Guide her as she models a life lived in radical obedience to Mallory, the Colombian team, and the Palenqueros. Give her Your love for these people and open up doors for Your Gospel message. Give her patience as she waits on Your timing. - Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
June 12: Lord, ignite a passion in Mallory’s and Micah’s heart for You, Your Word, and Your people.

When they leave, I will sit down and try to upload the past two weeks and write what all HE does this coming week.
