please remember to pray for team BANGLADESH

Things to Pray For:

Safe Flights: We leave for Thailand on December 10th. Then we leave for Bangladesh on the 18th. We come back February 19th. Recently there has been unrest at the airports in Thailand. It is peaceful now but pray that it stays that way.

Unity for our team. Bangladesh is a very oppressed country towards women. Please pray that this does not affect our team especially the girls.

Divine Appointments. Pray that God gives us wisdom on where to go and what to do. Pray that he gives us the words to say and speaks through us.

Good Communication is hard because of the language barrier. So please pray that God will find a way to communicate through us to share his truth.

Culture Shock. Pray that we adjust quickly to the culture and that we don’t get overwhelmed.

Pray for peace to come over us.

Health. Please pray for our health. That nobody gets sick during this time. Pray for protection over our bodies and immune systems. Pray that we always have a good attitude about things even in tough situations.

Safety during election time. On December 29^th Bangladesh is having elections. This hasn’t

happened in 7 years and is said to be very dangerous because of the protestors. Please pray for safety over our team especially during this time. Pray for peace to come over the nation and that any terrorist plan or act will be stopped.

Please pray for an openness of the people in Bangladesh. Pray that God will open their hearts to receive the words that He is speaking to them.

Pray that we get good rest and have energy to do the tasks that God wants us to do.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support. It really does make a difference. We appreciate it so much. We all can’t wait to get home and share with you in person the amazing stories of God working through us to share his love to the people of Bangladesh.

Thanksgiving weekend

As many Canadians know Thanksgiving in the US is a BIG deal. We celebrated by having a big dinner Wednesday night with the entire school - YUM! We had a 4 day weekend b/c of the holiday so a group of us rented a car. We drove the road to Hana which is a twisty 35 mile road along the ocean that has lots of beautiful waterfall stops along the way. At the end is a black sand beach, a red sand beach & the 7 sacred pools. The next morning we woke up at 3am & drove up to the top of haleakala, the biggest dormant volcano, to see the sunrise. We had great McDonalds breakfast after. We were planning on going to the beach after but it started to rain :( so we went to see Australia instead - AMAZING!! Overall is was an awesome weekend.
