Prayer Requests for 3/31

1) Opportunities for good deeds projects: We will have opportunities to serve the communities in Durban in some capacity; the hard thing is to know which projects to work on. Options could be church partnerships, AIDS hospitals, and orphanages might be possibilities. Please pray the Lord will direct us with clarity to these projects.

2) Ministry team - We all have to come up with $5,000, and in order to do this, we need help! Pray the Lord will be generous through others as you approach them with requests. Ask him to provide people who are excited about the opportunity to invest in missions in Durban.

3) South African students: God's desire is to reach South African college students with the gospel...pray the Lord will lead us to students who He is preparing to trust in Him.

Support Update

Many thanks to all who have already sent in financial support for my trip. I'm now over $3500 and have about $1200 to go. It has been incredible reaffirming and encouraging to get checks and notes from you all. Please continue to pray that God would provide the rest as checks have gone from a rush to more of a trickle lately. I trust that he will provide.
Also, sorry for no prayer updates lately. I was out of town on Spring Break and also haven't received any new lists of requests from our trip leaders in a while. I'll pass along whatever I hear though.
Thank you for your prayers!

Support update

As of Sunday I have all my support letters out. Pray that God will now work in people's hearts to bring in the amount I need. So far God has been incredibly faithful. I have already received $750 (some letters went out over a week ago and people have quickly sent in their donations). More updates soon...
