Prayer Needs


What's going on this week?

You're looking at it! Please pray for us as we work together with more local people (islanders) than ever before to host these next four short-term mission teams. Here are some pictures of what you might see happening around the Clinic on a normal day: construction and worker classes, school, teams exploring the communities and visiting, me-lesson planning or teaching, generators being maintained, and dories (boats) bringing and taking people here or there. Our minds can be so occupied with preserving power, using water wisely, keeping up with students and teams, and bargaining with locals while trying to teach service in the body of Christ over always making a buck for the work we do together....we lose sight of the cross and our heart to disciple.

Prayer Needs:

  • staff endurance, perseverance, patience, and focus to convey our long-term ministry goals in seeing many come to Christ through our words and deeds.
  • power and generators work efficiently this week so we will have fans to keep us cool through the night - there is no rest in the heat
  • RAIN for bathing water so we don't have to bathe in the salt sea with 35 teenagers for a whole month

Our schedule includes:

  • June 18-24th: a family dentist team of nine
  • June 19-July 2nd: a returning church youth group of 35 junior and senior high schoolers and their 8 leaders
  • July 2-16th: a returning church team of fourteen youth and adults
  • July 2-16th: a new church team of 16 high schoolers and 10 adults
