Prayer Requests for our trip

1. Travel Preparation - We have not been able to prepare as adequately as we had hoped the last few weeks due to the death of Monica's father on February 17th. Pray the LORD will continue to pour out strength and joy and steadfast hearts in us so we can be a blessing to Emmanuel when we arrive. Isaiah 40:28-29

2. Preparation to Preach - Last time I checked I am licensed as a doctor and not a preacher. I told Emmy I would be happy to preach at his church. I just didn't realize this meant all of us would be preaching at nearly all of his churches. Pray that the Holy Spirit gives all of us the right words to encourage the people of Uganda and that we won't get in the way. Mark 16:15

3. Travel - Pray for safe air travel, commuting on the ground, safe food to eat and restful sleep away from our home. Phil 4:6

4.Our Mission - Finding a way to support Pastor Emmy to be a voice for his long awaited vision to build a permanent school and orphanage for the orphans of Uganda. John 14:18

Mark and Monica,
Great Blog! I am excited to walk with you fine Texans as we both join arms to release practical blessings from Zion to the vulnerable children of Uganda.

Together we shall strengthen the bruised reed and help re-ignite the smoldering wick.

Strength and honor
Dov Ben Zion
