Prayer for Africa

We specifically prayed for four areas regarding the Africa team:
Salvation, Healing, Safety, and Unity. Here are the Scriptures that the girls came up with to pray over the Africa team.

Salvation:
Ezekiel 36:26 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
Psalm 51:10 “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Rev. 3:20 “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.”
Matt. 7:7-8 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Healing:
Proverbs 31:17 “She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.”
Isaiah 58:8 “Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.”
Isaiah 40:28-31 “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
Isaiah 53:5 “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
Psalm 103:1-5 “Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s”

Safety:
Psalm 4:8 “I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.”
Psalm 32
Psalm 46:7 “The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”
Psalm 121:2, 8 “My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth…the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
Psalm 125:1 “Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but endures forever.”
Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
Psalm 27:1 “The LORD is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalm 124:8 “Our help is in the name of the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.”
Psalm 91

Unity:
I Corinthians 13
I Corinthians 3:6 “I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.”
Romans 15:5 “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
Colossians 3:12-14 “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
Ephesians 4:2-3 “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.”
Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.”
Proverbs 3:34 “He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble.”

Snacks

Hey Ladies,
Just wanted to let you know that we are running low on spoons, coffee, and forks. Anyone going to the store before Wednesday might pick up a package or two.
We are looking forward to snacks from Andrea and Renee.
See you soon!

Zumba, Zumba, Zumba, Zumba (trying to hypnotize you into coming)

Ok ladies I heard some of you say that you would be embarrassed to try zumba in front of a bunch of people. So Jenna, the girl helping me, called today & said most of the women coming are teachers at the intermediate & primary schools & have never done it. It will be a very beginner night & everyone will have to stare at the instructors (lucky me) to follow along. So please come & try it; it is so fun I promise!

Hello ladies!  I was wondering if anyone was taking meals to the Herx family?  If I don't hear anything I'll bring a sign up list on Wednesday.  I know that so many of us have been blessed by receiving meals and I know they will too!
