5 Ways to Pray for the Thailand Team

The Thailand team (Dr. John, John Hetrick, and I) are leaving Thursday morning at 8am for a ten day trip that will be split between visiting UB churches in northern Thailand and Hong Kong. The following is a brief list of specifics you can pray about while we are gone.

1. Ask God to forge friendships. This trip will have many introductions and first impressions. Ask the Lord to help us open our hearts to new friends.

2. Ask the Father to give us clarity of thought. Much of our time will be spent listening and asking questions, so we need sharp minds despite the long travels.

3. Ask God to help us boil down the differing perspectives on our team into a firm understanding of the ministries we assess. The better information we bring home, the better decisions we will be able to make for the future.

4. Ask the Lord to keep us sensitive to cultural differences so that we bring honor to our hosts.

5. And finally, ask God to give us opportunities to bless our hosts and minister in their community, and for the courage to do so.
