Please Pray For Us

          Winter has returned to St Catharines as we make our final preparations to leave for El Salvador.  We will be going from a wind chill of -17 C to 30 C later today.  We will be travelling from a country that has so much, to a people who struggle with a poverty we cannot even comprehend.  What gives us the arrogance to even imagine that we can do anything to positively impact their lives?  God’s promises are sure, when we reach out in love, He will bless our efforts.  I am confident that God will work through us to shine a bright light in El Salvador this week. 

          We need you to pray for us.  We will be thanking our Heavenly Father each day that we are a part of a church family that makes a trip like this possible.  Thank you Bethany family for being there for us and thank you for praying for us.

          Pray that God will protect us and grant us safe travel this week.

        Pray that God will open the hearts and minds of those we will come in contact with this week so that they may learn of His love and grace.

          Pray that God will help us not trip over ourselves and that we will not in all our good intentions get in the way of the message.

          Pray that God will allow His message of love to shine brightly through all that we do this week.

          This venture succeeds not by what we do but by God’s blessings.  So I ask you please pray for us!  Pray for us in the morning while you enjoy that first cup of coffee.  Pray for us in the evening before you lay your head down to sleep.  Pray for us in the few quiet moments you have during the day, while traveling to appointments etc.…

          Bethany we carry you in our hearts knowing that you will remember us in your prayers.   Our only regret is that miss two glorious Sundays at Bethany, but we know that God will fill our hearts with His love so that it might spill over into the lives of others.
