Change is my middle name these days. We arrived in Nairobi, Kenya on the 30th and for the first time in a while both J and K squads are together. K squad had an awesome time together on New Year’s. We found this amazing venue on a preserve and rang in the New Year dancing, praying and watching fireworks.
K squad was set to leave for Uganda to our respective cities; however, our ministries aren’t ready to receive us yet. Therefore, K squad will be staying in Kenya this month and hopefully heading to Uganda in either February or March. My team will be doing ministry in Nkoru, Kenya helping a pastor. We will be doing a little bit of everything: construction work, preaching, and hospital ministry. Also, we got word that Thailand will be our first country in Asia instead of last, which I’m thrilled about.
God’s been doing some work on my heart and I’m taking time to soak it all in and process. I’m entering a personal fast from something I feel is hindering me. I can’t wait to see what He teaches me through it. I’ll share more with you at the end of the month.
So the real reason I’m writing this blog is prayer. During my time with God, He laid prayer on my heart. I’m learning to be more specific. There is such power in praying for one another. I’ve been blessed with the covering of prayer a lot this year through various outlets. My friends, family, and church back home as well as teammates and squad mates on this Race. I’ve been poured into a lot, now I’d love the chance to pour into those who’ve been following and supporting me this year.
I’d like anyone and everyone who reads this blog to CONTACT me and send an email with prayer requests. It can be one prayer request, a hundred prayer requests, short, long, silly or serious. It doesn’t matter if I have no clue who you are and you happen to read my blog (no worries, I’m an extreme World Racer blog stalker, it’s cool). You don’t have to sign your name if you don’t want to either, though I’d love to pray for you by name, but the Lord knows. The point is I want the opportunity to pray over you and pour into you, though nothing can compare to how I’ve been blessed by each of you this year.
“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people.” 1 Timothy 2:1
“I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours.” John 17:9
