6/14/2016 0 Comments New York Update #1 Prayer Requests38 more days! That's how many day sI have left before I leave on my mission trip to Brooklyn New York! I'm so excited but at the same time I'm anxious about the trip! Will we get the money in time? How am I going to witness to people of a completely different denomination than me? What if I get lost at the airport? I have so many concerns but I know that my Heavenly Father sees the future, I don't (see Jer 29:11), and that there are people (like you!) out there who are praying for me every step of the way. So I wanted to post a few prayer requests so that those of you praying for us have something specific to pray about. I know it helps me when I'm praying for someone to know specific needs, that way I'm not just saying "Lord please help this person." It somehow makes it more personal in a way that really helps me "bare my brother's burden" as commanded in the Bible (see Gal 6:2). Please pray for: *The safe and on-time travel to and from NYC and to and from all our NYC destinations. Neither Jonathan nor I have ever traveled by ourselves before (let alone fly!) so this aspect makes us VERY nervous! Please pray that our travel will go smoothly and that GOD will send HIS heavenly arm to protect us. * The health and wellbeing of all the Shalom Brooklyn participants and staff. I (Susan) tend to have some digestive issues if I eat out for a long period of time. Please pray that this will not be an issue and that if it is that I will be given the strength to press on regardless of how I feel. * The successful support raising for every one the Lord has called to this ministry. I'm not going to lie, money is a BIG issue right now and we really don't want to go into debt over a mission trip. Please pray that the funds will be provided before our deadline. The below requests have come directly from Chosen People Ministries in relation to Shalom Brooklyn: * The Spiritual preparation of all our hearts. Pray that we will yield our hearts to the control of the Holy Spirit so we may be motivated always by love for HaShem (The Name), and each other. * For a spirit of unity and cooperation as we work together all week * We will all catch a vision for what the Lord is doing among the Jewish People in Brooklyn and beyond * That we will learn new skills and gain new knowledge for His Kingdom * For our open, loving hearts toward the Jewish people and our team * For the Jewish people's spiritual eyes to be opened, and their hearts to be softened to the love of God in the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus), and the truth of the Gospel * For spiritual fruit that will last for all eternity * For anything else that comes to mind about our time together:) Again thank you to everyone who is praying and supporting us through this journey. May you be blessed a hundred fold for your efforts! Love, Susan
