Prayer!

GO Vision Trip

Port au Prince, Haiti

June 30th-July 4th, 2011


Prayer is such a wonderful and beautiful gift! I am so overwhelmed with thankfulness for you’re willingness to pray for me and my team mates while we are in Haiti. This ministry is not ours, but is the Lords so we want Him to be glorified in everything we do!


Some prayer requests:


That God would show each of us his heart for the helpless, orphan child

That we would be broken by what breaks God

That we would be used by God in the work He is already doing in Haiti

That we come back changed...more like Christ!

That we glorify God in all we do and say

That God will give us the energy and health we need everyday

That our hearts are open to learning and loving in ways we never have before

That this trip is not just an “experience” but rather a turning point in our lives, hearts and thinking

That we have a wonderful time and God grants us health in order to carry out His work

That we take down our barriers and learn about ourselves

For each and every person we encounter; that we could show them love, respect, care and concern.

For the children in care with the Global Orphan Project; that their physical, emotional, educational and spiritual needs are met

That each child will know the love of Jesus Christ!

For the pastors, house mamas, cooks, teachers and care givers who work daily to care for these precious children

For our eyes to be opened to needs and our spirits willing to help meet those needs in whatever way God calls us to

For our team to be unified and cohesive

That we enjoy the people and culture of Haiti!
