My Kids!

My Kids!

Tuesday, May 20, 2008

I leave on Thursday, May 22. I will be in Zambia for 3 months.

This last year has flown by, and I can not believe the time has come for me to head back to Zambia once again. I am so ready to see all 29 of my precious boys who touched my life last summer in 2007. Since, I am on staff with Family Legacy Missions, I will be going over a week before Camp LIFE 2008, and staying a week and a half later. I will be working on the Father's Heart program there. This year's theme for Camp LIFE is PEACE. We will be studying Psalm 23. Please make this psalm your prayer for myself, the entire staff, the Zambians, the Zambian children, and all of the American that will be going this summer. (All 561 of them!) I will try to update you as much as I can by blogging while we are there. Please go to www.legacymissions.org for more information on Family Legacy. As I prepare to leave, here are a few prayer requests that I have for myself:

Pray for energy to complete the tasks that God has set before me.

Pray for rest!!! (Pray also for sound sleep - this has been a problem lately.)

Pray for direction and clear guidance from the Lord in regards to my future.

Pray for protection. Both spiritually and physically. (I really do not want to get sick this summer. I am not a good "sick person". )

Pray for wisdom and discernment. Pray also for courage and boldness!! Please also pray for many opportunities to minister and counsel others. (I really enjoy this!!!)

Pray that I would love Jesus more and more every day, and that others would see HIS love radiating through me.

Pray that I would love the children of Zambia with my whole heart, and be able to minister to them well.

Pray that I would love others well and encourage them.

Pray for peace.


Please continue to pray for the children. Pray that they would know the love of Jesus Christ. Pray that they would trust HIM. Well, that is all for now. I can't believe that the time is here. I get to see Wisdom in a few days!!!!!!! I love you all! Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.
