Raising Support - November 2 Meeting

Today, Daisy provided a very thorough overview of the Biblical basis for support raising and encouraged them to begin planning their support letters. Each student is needing to raise $3250. This is a large amount, to say the least. However, we are confident that God is able to meet this need. Would you join us in praying that each student would rise to the challenge of raising this amount and that God would provide each student with a supportive team of people who would encourage, pray and love them to and from Senegal?

Another item of prayer is the persistent concerns regarding the H1N1 virus. We would like you to pray that if it is God's will for us to be in Senegal, then the spread of this virus would not pose any danger or obstacle to us. We are working with our travel agent to identify specific policies around trip cancellation should an outbreak of the virus be detected in Senegal.

Finally, would you please pray that the students have the endurance to persevere through the training sessions? They are already putting in a full day at school and the energy needed to go through another 1.5 hours can be taxing. Yet, these sessions are so important for them. So pray that they would discover the Lord as their supernatural strength - especially on Monday nights.
