Prayer Request - May 31

Tomorrow is the day... We will start our spytrip to Dubi as we meet as a team of 10 people and get to know each other first. "Sharon" and I will give some orientation and guidelines before we leave. On the 1st of June we will go into the 'promised land'. We will stay in a motel in the midst of Dubi. Our team is very international (we have 3 Germans, 6 Americans and 1 Britain) We are very thankful if you could cover us with prayer during this time: We expect clear guidance from God. He has opened already so many doors in the last weeks so we hope that he will give us a clearer vision for our role in Dubi!

At the moment we are pretty tired - just last weekend was a big festival in Herrnhut going on where we had to help a lot. But now there is special burden on Sharon's and my shoulders as we are going to lead the team. We need a big portion of strength and wisdom as leaders! - On Saturday, the 2nd of June we will have an important meeting with Jiri (a Christian from Dubi) and a pastor from nearby with translation. There we will share more about our vision and as the building the Christians live in shall be sold. We are very open to buy it if it's God's will!

On Sunday we will also have the opportunity to make connections with the church nearby in Litvinov and to share about our vision for Dubi. It's very important for us to have good relationships with the church and to have good communication even though we don't speak Czech yet!

- Pray for openness and honesty in the team (we don't know each other yet, but all are mature christians with a lot of experience).

- Pray, that we will have unity as a team and walk in our gifts.

- Pray that we will be protected as it is a tough area we are entering, full of corruption, prostitution, drugs and lies.

- Pray that wherever we will stay or pray we will be a blessing for the place and the people! Thank you so much for your prayers!!! You are helping to build God's kingdom in a dark place!

May Yahweh not only protect you all, but may he open the doors to the hearts of all... you come in contact with.

Think of the new life you have to offer thousands of people in Dubi and know the Elohim of all Grace and Mercy will guide, direct and honor your obiediance. Through the blood of the Lamb and it is in His name that we pray.

Have a Great day!

Hey, God assumes full responsibility for our needs when we obey Him. Matthew 6:25-34. Hebrews 13:1-25. Let us not be satisfied unless we're fully surrendered to Jesus. Obiedence is seeking the Kindom of God first and all His righteousness will be given to us. For the battle is not ours but God's 2 Chronicles 20:15.
God Bless your're in my prayers.
