prayer request

To my dear family and friends:
I have one week left in the country and I want to that you for your encouragement and support as I get ready to leave. I write this to ask for your prayers as I am in my final week at home.
1. Pray that my time left will be filled with precious time spent with my family and friends. I pray that this last week precious memories will be made that I can look back on while abroad.
2. Pray for traveling mercies. I fly out from Tampa on the 17th at 11:07am to Chigago to meet with most of my team and then we fly out to London at 5pm. We land at Heathrow at 7:10am the 18th (2:10am FL time).
3. Pray for my last week at work, that my last week there will be filled with God-ordained conversations.
4. Pray for my time in London, that the teen I am reaching out to have their hearts open, and their minds willing to listen. Pray that I can be relevant in their lives and that we can bridge the gap and that we can have lasting impact.
5. Pray for my team and I to have unity and be a chord of strands that can not be broken. Pray that my team and I can work to build each other up and where one of us lacks, that the other is strong. Pray that Satan does not bring discord and strife and temptation into our lives and that we ALWAYS look to Jesus.
6. Finally, I ask that you pray that I look to no one else but Jesus. Pray that my heart is in London with the work that I have there and not at home. Pray that I don't get homesick and I think about what I am leaving behind. Pray that my focus will be on the work at hand and that nothing will distract me from the call that Christ has for me.

  1. Kelly, I can't wait to hear about your trip as each unfolds more of the mercy and grace of God. One of my favorite scriptures is this.

    I know theplans I have, announces the Lord. I want you to enjoy success...Jeremiah 29:11a

    Success isn't always a monatary thing, success can be any number of things, so while you're there doing what you've been called to do, know that the Lord also wants you to have success.
