Pre-trip post (Daily Prayers)

This is the first post for the FLY Toronto Mission Trip. I am including here the daily prayers we would love for you to pray over us. You are joining us in this mission with your prayers. May God's blessing be with you.

2007 Faith Lutheran High School Mission Trip
Toronto, Ontario, Canada; CSM (Center for Student Missions)
Friday, June 15 – Saturday, June 23, 2007

As we are gone on our mission trip we would love it if you would be covering us in prayer! Here are


DAILY PRAYER CONCERNS:
Before Departure: That our team would be working on our own spiritual preparation and that we would be in personal prayer and working to set our attitudes as ones of servanthood. That we would also be preparing ourselves to go serve in a different “culture”.

Friday, June 15: Pray that our team would see our travel as ministry opportunities within our group and the people we meet. Could we share the good news of Jesus Christ with someone even on our way to Toronto? We will be spending this night in Sandusky, OH, praise the Lord for North Coast Community Church and the hospitality that they provide.

Saturday, June 16: Pray that our team would enjoy our day of “play” at Cedar Point Amusement Park. Pray for our safety while at the park. We will be journeying on to Detroit, MI, late that evening, so pray for safety of drivers and travel.

Sunday, June 17: We crossing the border – pray for smooth passage and $ exchange. We will be attending worship at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church in Windsor, Ontario, Canada (where we will be staying Fri. June 22) before arriving at our CSM site in Toronto. Pray for good bonding and fellowship time for our team before really getting into our servant work.

Monday, June 18: Our team will begin our ministry opportunities at various shelters and locations around Toronto. Please pray for our safety while assisting at these sites.

Tuesday, June 19: Our team will be continuing at the ministry sites. Please pray that amidst our busy schedule we would have the hearts of Jesus for those less fortunate than ourselves. Keep those we will be ministering to in your prayers this day, that they may be lights in our hearts and that we may be Jesus’ love to them.

Wednesday, June 20: Please pray for continued open, willing attitudes and hearts to know that we are serving Jesus in all that we do.

Thursday, June 21: On this day, we ask you to pray for our team and our attitudes. We have been together for almost a week now and when you live in close community, sometimes it can create challenges and friction. Pray that we handle conflict with integrity and courage. Pray that we think of others as better than ourselves and approach our relationships with humility.

Friday, June 22: Pray for the CSM staff. As we leave this AM, we will have made many great new relationships. Pray for the staff and counselors who will be continuing in ministry in the Toronto area for the rest of the summer. Please also pray a blessing on our time at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church – with their youth and leaders.

Saturday, June 23: Pray for safety and alertness for our drivers as we make the last leg of the trip from Windsor, Ontario, Canada back to Cedar Rapids. Pray for a smooth boarder crossing. That even in our tiredness we would find opportunities to “be Jesus with skin on”.
