Off To The Philippines: The Lord Goes Before You


Three good friends are preparing to leave for a two-month ministry trip to the Philippines. Jaxi, Nathan, and Jonathan (first three in front, left) leave this Saturday afternoon for San Francisco, and then the Philippine islands.

Tonight we gathered at the Staggering Ox with some friends and family to lay hands on and pray for them, for their trip, and for God's will as they seek out His direction for their life and ministry. It was an awesome time of prayer and encouragement for them.

We prayed for their physical needs like food and lodging, courage to follow God's leading, and for protection against Spiritual attacks. With our prayer and encouragement, we commissioned them for this ministry trip and prayed for the Holy Spirit's anointing on their words, actions, and relationships for the next months.

Our assurance to them comes from Deuteronomy 31:8, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."

We will miss you guys, but are excited about what God is going to do in each of your lives.
