Pre-flight Prayers

Before I set out for what is sure to be a great adventure in Argentina, I have some prayer requests for myself, my team, and for those who I haven't met just yet. Anytime that my name, the country of Argentina, missions, or even the Spanish language come to your mind, I hope that you would take a few minutes and pray for the following:

*Abundant opportunities to share Christ with the people of Córdoba, Argentina.
*Patience and perseverance with learning a new language.
*Eager hearts and open minds of those whom my team may come in contact with.
*Courage, wisdom, and strength in following the Lord's will.
*Peace and prosperity for the country of Argentina.
*Praise Him for providing great financial support.
*Full faith in the Lord alone and for any fears or anxious thoughts to be cleared away.
*Blessings upon my family and friends back home.

With only a few days left before my flight, I am continually being encouraged and prepared by the Lord and His Word. A verse that I keep going back to is Matthew 9:37-38, "Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." From talking with the missionaries that I will meet in Argentina, this is the exact situation down there right now. They are in need of workers because the harvest is plentiful and ripe! People are ready to hear the truth of the gospel and I am eager and feel so blessed to be able to tell them of Christ's redeeming and abundant grace. If any verses or words of encouragement come to you, please send them my way-I am sure I will need those messages in the coming weeks. I will hopefully update this blog before I peace out Monday, so until then, keep praying!
