Poland Team Schedule and Requests

Here are some current prayer requests from our team members as well as the schedule, so you can be praying specifically. Thanks, everyone. We can feel the prayers on our behalf! Keep it up!

Mark

Allyson Male: Pray that the language barrier will not stop some people from opening up to our team. Pray that I have the courage to open up to the campers and that I will be able to find a balance between spending time with them, planning lessons, and spending time alone with God.

Lydia Jorgensen: For physical health; I need to sleep. For camp itself, that I can figure out with Charlie what our class needs to learn (we have the advanced class).

Bree: That I would realize that while I'm here It's not about me.

Emma: Stay in God's image while I'm here.

Ethan: Pray for brother Daniel & Kristin. (late term miscarriage)

Mark Forstrom: I have developed a little cough and headache yesterday. I'm perfectly content with it, but just don't want it to hinder any ministry. Pray God's will to be done. Pray for some "couple issues" among the Polish-that it wouldn't be a distraction.

Ben Ziegler: Pray that the lessons go well and I am able to connect with the students in my class.

Kristie: Pray for walls to continue to come down with the students. Pray for the health of the kids as some are battling colds. Pray for continued unity of the NCBC group. Pray for the missionary family that we are serving with.

Lexi: Willing to help Przemek and Julie in any way (babysitting especially), and any other staff member or camper.

Ben S: That I will be more humble during my experience with Polish students and I will understand to be more loving to others and not so bashful. I pray for unity and the strength to love all of my team mates and also the polish students.

Charlie: I can't always sleep well which is no different than at home but it would really be nice if I could here because I am starting to feel the effects of no sleep. Also just pray that we would all be a unified group that would not be one that does as little as possible or that is not outgoing but one that really wants to get involved in these peoples lives and that we would have the courage to start conversation even though sometimes it is obscenely awkward and when they don't understand they just kinda laugh at you just pray for courage strength and understanding. Remember the song "Give Me Words to Speak" by Aaron Shust and pray that for us too!
