As for God, his way is perfect;
the word of the LORD is flawless.
He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
~2 Samuel 22:31 (NIV)~
Caring Bridge
From Tricia Wilson:
Friends,
I just wanted to tell you about the Good News Club (see www.cefdallas.org) we are beginning at our elementary school. In the fall, I prayed about women who might come alongside me in this, and God has put together a great group. There are 6 of us on the team….maybe in the future, we will expand? This Friday, February 5th at 3:45 we will begin this adventure! Preparing to start this up, has been much more work than I ever anticipated. I also have thought several times that I wish someone else was the leader of this team, and I could just play my small part, but God has given me this privilege, and I pray I’ll be faithful to the task. Will you please pray for our team of moms who are volunteering to do this? Their names are: Angie, Jessica, Yulanda, Kimberly, and Susan. Please pray we will be flexible as we have no idea how many kids will even come or if the schedule we’ve created will work. I am responsible for teaching the lesson each week. Can you believe I get to share the Gospel in a public school for 7 weeks?
Please pray:
© Team unity
© Creativity
© Quick thinking on our feet
© Supernatural love for these kids
© Filled with the Spirit
© Wisdom
© We will move out of the way and let God work
© We will be able to see what works and what doesn’t work and be able to quickly adjust
© Kids will come
© Fun
© Kids and families will begin a relationship with Christ
© Whatever else you can think of!
Thank you,
Tricia
HAITI. Access to airports and shipping docks remains highly restricted. Intercede for IMB, NAMB, state convention, Baptist Global Response, and governmental organizations, asking that they will be able to work together efficiently, providing direly needed assistance to the broadest number of people in the shortest period of time. While everyone wants to go immediately, director of the Florida Baptist Convention’s mission division, Cecil Seagle, said, “At this point, all we can sleep safely in Port-au-Prince is 55.” Ask God to assist teams as they coordinate additional logistics for others to come and offer aid. Our hearts break and long to “do something.” Please give as the Lord leads you (http://www.imb.org), offer loving support to Haitians in your community who themselves are not able to get home to see their families, and do not cease to pray.
