Please pray!

It's been a few weeks and I could probably write a book about all I see in just a few weeks if only I could find time. It is late now and I am the only one awake but just wanted to ask you all to pray for our weekend. I really don't even know who reads this anymore. Is anyone out there?

Well... just to make myself feel better I am going to ask for prayer! ;o) We are undertaking a very large task this weekend. Very large. A little background first....It has been one of our efforts this past year to unite the "B" works in the area. There are many small churches within in hour or so driving distance but none of them were really meeting together. So we have tried to bring them together. This has been awesome to see and the joy it has brought these churches is priceless. Not too many months ago it was decided that it was time to bring all of the youth from these churches together for a big youth event. Now you know what the prayer request is!

We are leaving to go on a very fun-filled weekend of camping with, oh say 50-60 youth. No water, no plumbing, one outhouse for all to share, probably 2 tents, ( one of which I will be in) and then a bunch of  tarps tied to trees so the kids can sleep under them. It will be roughing it at it's best! I am bringing my camera and expect to take tons of pictures. Please pray for us as we travel, as we play, as we learn what God has to say to us and as we love on these youth who are growing up in an area that is not easy to grow up in! Thank you so much for praying! I truly count it a blessing to be able to serve among these people! Love to you all! Missy

    1. Hi Vicky! Thanks for praying for us. I feel your prayers all the time but I especially felt them this weekend! Can you believe that with 65 youth we only had a tiny paper cut! I mean, that just isn't a coincidence! That is answer to prayer! Thanks again!!
