Women's Team - November 2012

Qualifies the Called

What was the response of the disciples when Jesus asked them to follow him?  Matthew 4:20 states “At once they left their nets and followed him.” 

 

The November China Mission team has been selected.  Not putting any of us in the same shoes as Peter and Andrew, but listening to each woman’s experience of being asked to serve made the above verse resonate in me.  God’s abundant grace has blessed this mission trip with a diverse group of women with gifts, talents, trials, temptations, experiences and enthusiasm.  Our love for the Lord and desire to be used by Him to share with our sisters in China is a heart’s prayer held by each of us. 

 

Having never served on a mission before I didn’t know what to expect, nor did I know all of the women going.  Throughout our first few meetings I see a transparency with the team members that I know will be used for His glory.  He is knitting us together quickly; and with much laughter, some tears and sharing we move forward. 

 

Our selected verse is Romans 15:13 “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”  

 

How can you pray for us?

1.    For the development of each of our talks. 

2.    Praise Him for the airline ticket prices that were secured.

3.    Protection from spiritual warfare

4.    For strength, courage and peace for each member of the team as they juggle their personal lives and commitments. 

5.    Prepare our sisters hearts in China to receive the messages He is calling us to share

6.    May God be glorified and may we honor Him in all we do.
