Today is the day!

Today is the day the Lord has made and we are about to begin our journey. Katie, Rick and Ken will meet us in Paris tomorrow but the rest of the team will gather in Cincinnati to begin our 16+ hour flights to Conakry.

Wednesday night my Bible study sisters gathered around me and prayed over the team, those we are serving, and for God's presence to be with us and visible to all we come in contact with. The amazing thing to me was 2 ladies gave me the same scripture Psalm 91 and one actually recited the verses to me. Lynn Wrightson, one of my co-workers and friend,  often prays for God's wings of protection for those she prays for and now I know where she gets it from.  So I am sharing this with you. God's got us covered!

Psalm 91-Bible Gateway

 ¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
   will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
   my God, in whom I trust.”  ³ Surely he will save you
   from the fowler’s snare
   and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will cover you with his feathers,
   and under his wings you will find refuge;
   his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
⁵ You will not fear the terror of night,
   nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
   nor the plague that destroys at midday.
⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
   ten thousand at your right hand,
   but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only observe with your eyes
   and see the punishment of the wicked.
 ⁹ If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
   and you make the Most High your dwelling,
¹⁰ no harm will overtake you,
   no disaster will come near your tent.
¹¹ For he will command his angels concerning you
   to guard you in all your ways;
¹² they will lift you up in their hands,
   so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
   you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
 ¹⁴ “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
   I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him;
   I will be with him in trouble,
   I will deliver him and honor him.
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him
   and show him my salvation.”

I can't wait to see God has in store for this group, and I know it will be amazing. We hope to blog throughout the week, but...there may be problems with electricity and we might not get to post daily.

Thank you for keeping this team in your prayers!
