Dear Christian Skaters Prayer Team,
Today 15 men headed off to Liberia to walk over 30 miles and encourage 13 churches in areas that have been devastated by the aftermaths of two lengthy civil wars. The mission is to encourage and bring unity to these churches as the war has created incredible amounts of division in the different tribes. The mission will be concluded by a three day pastors and youth conference in the capitol city with over 150 adult leaders throughout Liberia.
They have already had intense spiritual attacks with flight changes, health, homeland security advisories, planning, immigration, and more. But, we know the Lord is faithful. His plan is not our own, but it is ALWAYS better!
Day 1 Update
The team is off to Liberia. Pray for their travels today and the next three days in the bush. They will be walking over 30 miles in the next few days in area that can be very dangerous. Pray that they are able to reach all the churches, that the Lord protects them from danger (malaria, medicine men & snakes), and that they may be used greatly in encourage these church leaders. Pray for each of these men to stay healthy, strong, and close to the Lord. The meds they are taking for Malaria are very intense and cause mood swings, depression, nausea, and more. They will also be eating many foods that their bodies are unaccustomed to. The conditions are dangerous, rugged, and very different then they are used to. Pray that the Lord reveals His hand in all they do so that they too may be encouraged as they encourage others.
