On the count down! Special prayer request.

Our mission team leaves in 2 days. We have had a lot of planning meetings, shopping trips, and have packed up all the supplies and donated clothes and flip flops. We have been asking God for His direction as we continue to make plans and work on schedules and last minute details.


Now we have a special prayer request. On our last 2 trips to Ukraine, we have spent the first half of our time in a little village called Nikolaevka, where we stay in an orphanage and teach the orphans and the children in the village about Jesus and His love. The second half of the trip is spent in Odessa where we go to Fontanka (the boys juvenile detention orphanage) and the camp for 2 orphan schools. We just received word that Nikolaevka's control audit office is there this week and if they are not finish with the audit before we get there, we will not be able to go to the village.
Our prayer is that the audit will be over and that we will still be able to go to Nikolaevka. But, we also know God is in control and His plan is perfect.

Above all, we pray that God's plan for this trip will prevail and that we would have wisdom to know what that is. We pray for peace as we wait on His timing and on His direction.
