This is a request for Prayer Support. I would like to ask for committed prayer partners who will keep this trip in your prayers as we prepare for, go to, minister in, and come back from Peru. Please reply to this post or email me at becky.castle@baptistcollege.edu
What to pray for:
- Prep for our team before, our focus to stay on the Lord and His plan as we minister to His people.
- That the Lord would continue His ancient work in Chavina in preparing the people there that we will be ministering to.
- The people of Chavina, this is a very dark place with little Christian influence and there is a considerable amount of spiritual warfare.
- What we will be doing in Chavina is reflected in what Paul did in Acts. As Paul would travel to a city, teach the gospel, train leaders, and start a church (not build), that’s what we are doing in Chavina through our association (Holmes Baptist Association).
- We will be being intentionally relational with the people, working and playing and talking with them in thier own cultural setting, sharing the Gospel with them in a way that they can recognize in their culture. Please pray for us to be able to step out of our comfort zones and just be used by the Lord, in whatever way that may be.
- We will be hosting Bible Studies for whomever would like to attend.
- We will be at an altitude of 11,000 feet. this change in altitude is known to cause headaches, breathing issues or fatigue. Please pray that the Lord would protect us from these or be our strength to press on through them.
- In prep for this trip, i really need to be physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally preparing. Please pray that the Lord would guide me through this. I need Him in my pray constantly showing me what to do, telling me what to say, i need Him closer then ever before. In my thoughts of Inadequacy, i know that 2 Cor. 12:9-10 are made even more real to me.
A couple funny points about the week:
- no hot water, we are gonna be a smelly group on the bus and plane ride back :)
- We will be flying into Lima, Peru and the following day we will be getting on a BUS and traveling the SIXTEEN HOUR bus ride to Chavina!
Im so excited! Walking, Mountains, Camping, Ministering to God's people! I mean for real! does this really ever get any better then this!!!
To God be the Glory and Praise!
