Prayer Requests

Except the LORD build the house, They labor in vain that build it. (Psalm 127:1)

  • That God would do in us (the team members) whatever He must to make us effective witnesses of His love and power to save
  • That we would maintain focus on and trust in the Lord Jesus both for our needs and the fruit of the ministry
  • That our visibility would decrease so that Jesus may receive all the glory for His presence and work
  • That the spirit of team unity would be strong, and that the students would know we are Christians by our love and service
  • For health, safety, and protection from the discouragement and derailment the enemy will try to bring
  • That no weapon formed against us would prosper, but that all things would work together for good
  • For camp logistics and that students would be placed in classes most beneficial to them
  • That the students would be drawn to the person of Christ present in Spirit in the earthen vessels, Czech and American, representing the body of Christ at the camp
  • For Bronek and Lora (Czech missionaries) as they recruit students and make arrangements for camp in Malenovice
  • For the camp staff, our van driver, and the other service people we meet—that God would bless them for their service to us
  • That the week we are there would never end but stay alive in the hearts of each student
  • That God would be honored
