"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
1 Peter 4:10-11 (NIV)

Tomorrow is GO time

John's wife, Robin, has been leading a prayer team email update as the days get closer to our trip. Today is the day before we leave!! So, I wanted to share her prayer team email. Thank you Robin for these emails each day! 




Tomorrow is travel Day
I am sure the team is very nervous and excited about everything.  They are thinking, “Did I pack everything?”, “Do I need …..?”.  They have lots going on in their personal lives, well as their work, and this trip.  Through your prayers, the team will be able to endure all their anxious moments.  Continue to pray for the one item you chose.  Remember, praying is the not the least you can do, but the most you can do.  James 1:2-4 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trails, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.  And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
God knows our hearts and our words and will listen to our request.  God says in Matthew: 18:20 - For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.   God will hear our prayers and will bless the Prosthetic Promises Team.    God is Almighty   I will keep you updated as I get information.  Thank you everyone for your dedication in praying for this list.  God will bless them as well as you for your prayers.
