Short prayer request

Hi everyone--Tomorrow morning (Thursday AM our time) Adam and I will be flying out to several of the mission stations on a vision trip.  The purpose is to gain a clear understanding of the work that FMZ does in Zambia. 

Macha is in the southern Zambia and has been totally transformed by a Dutch couple who are working at a hospital and incorporating IT (computers and internet) into the local culture.  There is also a Christian school in Macha that is all the rage around here. We'll tour the community and then head north to Chitokoloki where we'll spend the night.  We'll see more on Friday then head home.  Adam will probably get to fly the plane some of the way.  

Please pray for:  1)  safe travel into and out of the mission stations 2) Adam and I would absorb and understand the relevant information thrown at us  3) We would start to get a clearer picture of the work FMZ does for rural Zambians 4) God would give Adam and I a clearer picture of what our role will look like and what mission station God may have us at 5) Adam would get to fly the plane. 

We are so thankful to be here and even more thankful that you are reading this and praying for us.  May God's peace surround you as it has surrounded us every mile of this trip. 

Take care, Carrie

  1. You can be assured about the prayers.

    All any of us have is trust in the Father. That's what letting go is all about.

    Yet, we can't help missing you and not being able to visit if we've a mind to. And it's a little unnerving to be so far away that we couldn't be able to help of needed.

    So, thanks for the message. It's always good to hear from you.

  3. Wow, so exciting to hear and see what God is doing! That was so neat to hear about the awesome church service. I will pray for continued confirmation throughout the rest of your trip. Keep expecting great things:
    "Now to him who is able to do Far More Abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church(all over the world:) and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever!!"
    Love you guys. Can't wait to hear everything in person.
