Day of Prayer! - Explore Archived World Race Alumni Blogs

One more squad update! We have an exciting opportunity we wanted to share with you all! With only a few weeks left, it's really important to us to involve people back home and allow you to be part of the final leg of this journey. The following is something my teammate Bree wrote on behalf of our entire squad and it's really cool, so please read it!

As a squad, we are passionate about a lot of things, and one of them is definitely prayer. This has been a huge part of our journey, we've seen incredible things happen through it, and we have all grown a lot because of it. So I’m here to announce that I-squad is going to be holding a DAY OF PRAYER. Yes, a day (all 24-hours of it) dedicated solely to praying. This Monday, June 22nd, we’ll start praying at 6 am and we’ll end on the 23rd at 6 am. And how can you at home be part of this day? I’ll tell you now.

***We’re inviting YOU to send us your prayer requests!***

Prayer is incredibly powerful, and we want to share this power with people back home. Your request doesn’t have to be something big, and it doesn’t even have to be for you—it can be for your family, your church, your friends, your coworkers, whatever you want. Even though we’re in Africa and you might be in America, I think this is a great opportunity to join as a body of Christ and intercede for each other. There’s power where 2 or more are gathered together in the name, and we as a squad want to invite you to be a part of that.

So! I would love, love, love if you would send me any prayer requests that you might have. We’re going to share these requests as an entire squad (so we can all be praying for you), so if you want them to remain anonymous, just specify that.

Here’s how to get them to me:

1) You can email them to me (Eryn) at [email protected]

2) You can leave a comment below and leave your name and a request

3) You can look me up on facebook and message me your request there

As a squad, we’d love to pray for you. Also, we’d love it if you would pray for us! As you may or may not know, I had to fundraise to get here. God provided and I’m still in awe at how it all came together. There are still some people on my squad of 34 that are not fully-funded and really need to be. The word “squad mates” might not mean a lot to most of you, but these people are amazing. They’re the ones who encourage me when I don’t want to go to ministry, who pray for me when I’m sick, who reach out to me when I’m hurting, who inspire me to go deeper with the Lord, and who push me to love people in ways I never thought possible.

They’re kingdom shakers, and though we only have less than 2 months left on this journey, this people need your help to finish their funding. Our squad is going to be praying for these people big time on the 22nd, but we want to invite you to pray for them as well. They need God to provide the finances to fund this race, and we’re going to be believing and praying that He will.

Here are there names and blog addresses if you’d like to pray for them, to find out more about them, or to donate.
