Prayer please for missionary work

Hi everyone, I am writing today asking for prayer that has nothing to do with weight loss. Well, I guess it sort of does, since I wanted to lose the weight so I would have more energy to serve the Lord!! I have wanted to go to Africa and help people since I was a little girl. I have such a heart for the poor in Africa. This little flame of desire turned into a burning inferno when one of our missionaries was killed in Iraq last March while serving the Lord. I feel that if Karen DIED for the Lord, then I need to LIVE for him. Recently I have been invited to go on a trip with a group of medical professionals to do some missionary work in Nigeria. It is led by my chiropractor who is a wonderful Christian man. He takes a group of Christian doctors and nurses over there every May to work in a hospital that desperately needs the help. On Wednesday I have an appointment to talk with our pastor in charge of missions about getting support from the church to go on this trip. I am so thrilled to have this opportunity, that I have prayed about for years, put in front of me. Please be in prayer in the following ways: 1) That it will happen if it is the Lord's will and not my own. 2) That the finances will be there for the trip. 3) That the Lord will open the doors and show me the way. 4) That the Lord will give me peace and the right words to say while asking for support from my church. (I get nervous and end up sounding so stupid sometimes when I am talking to people in charge!) Thank you so much my brothers and sisters in Christ. Blessings to you, Sherri

Sherri, How exciting!!!! I always say "Where God guides, he will provide". Let us know how it goes with the Pastor on Wednesday. Blessings Geri

Hi Sherri, The ministry my husband and I have involves helping missionaries as the Lord provides. We have chapters in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, as well as Pakistan. We'd love to talk with you more about your opportunity. Please contact me via at: [email protected] Johanna
