What We Need: Prayer

All journeys require a number of things from its participants.
From the nitty-gritty details such as
Luggage,
Passports,
Itineraries.
All the way down to different attitudes like
Flexibility,
A ready spirit,
Excitement.

But there are some journeys that are just harder in nature than others. And this one just might be one of them. These journeys, they need something very particular and very powerful. They need prayer.

Our team has come together to care for a need that is greater than we could ever deal with or imagine impacting on our own. In our world, there is a global crisis that is leaving so many to wonder,
"What do I do?"
"What can I do?"
With these questions in the minds of so many, the Lord has called us, at this moment, to go to Lesvos, Greece, the epicenter of need and, really, the face of the refugee crisis.    

I think I can speak for all of us in saying it is a blessing that God would call us to such a big thing, but also a little intimidating. We don't know exactly what we will face or what the Lord will call us to do, but it's with an open hand that we proceed forward, resting in the call the Lord has placed in each of our lives.

So as we get ready to set out to go to this little island off the coast of Turkey where THOUSANDS of people are arriving, or even dying to get to each day, to flee from persecution and oppression with one unified goal of a safer life, we ask that you would join us in prayer.
We ask that your prayers would help sustain and guide us in the days ahead,
that they would encourage us to have the words to say to the desperate and the needy,
that they would allow us to encounter Christ through these people,
and, hopefully, introduce Him to many as well.

If you would like to know a few more specifics on how to pray, please go to this link: Refugee Relief Trip, where you will find a prayer calendar set up by Calvary's Missions Department.

Thank you, in advance, for your prayers and thoughts. We can't thank you enough for partnering with us in this way.
