A Repeat from An Email

Well, the time has come where I am venturing off on another extreme adventure! I am so excited to let you know I will be going to Africa in two and a half weeks! I am sending this letter to close friends and family who I know will support me by praying while I am away.Here are the details of the trip. On January 20th, I will be flying to Mityana, Uganda. My flight is through Amsterdam, Nairobi and then on to Entebbe in Uganda. I will be flying with Christina Stewart, my good friend, Kristie Waterman and her cousin, Emery Prette. We arrive in Entebbe the morning of the 22nd and will be met by Robert Mponye from King's Kids ministry in Mityana. From there we will travel by land to our destination in Mityana, Uganda. For the next two days, we will be preparing for the team to arrive. As I will be the medical team leader, part of my time will be spent making sure all of the medical supplies and medicine is there. We will also be participating in a women's conference.The Impact Nations team will be arriving on the 24th. For the next two days, we will be spending time in preparation and orientation. Some of the team members have never healed the sick or even prayed for anyone. This time is special as we will be getting to know each other and this provides cohesiveness and unity. And then the fun begins! We will be conducting medical clinics in the daytime and healing evangelistic meetings in the evening. I am hoping we will be able to provide medical care to approximately 1,500 people. We willbe going to the surrounding villages and setting up mobile medical clinics. While there, we will give out vitamins, de-worming medications and health care for each individual. Teams will go out into the village and see if there are any too sick to come in. Our team members will also be praying for each person that comes to the clinic. Many times we see miracles while the people are waiting in line!Then in the evening, we will return to that same area and have an open air meeting where we will share testimonies and the love of God with the people.We will have six clinic days and one of these days will be spent at Kings Kids Ministries. Kings Kids houses 381 orphans and employs 26 full time staff. We want to bless them and provide them with medical care as well.I will be flying home February 5/6th.So, now that I have filled you in on some of the details of the trip, you probably have some idea of what my prayer needs will be. This is what I would like you to do for me while I am away.Please pray for the following:1. Health and safety for each team member (angelic body guards)2. Healings, miracles and salvations!!!3. For the next 2.5 weeks of preparation that everything is workedout and that there won't be any complications4. For unity among the team members5. Travelling mercies6. Yes, here it is again, that smells would not bother me :o)I have been under the weather for the past two weeks so if you could please pray that I would heal quickly, that would be great.Thank you so much for your love and support in this endeavour. I value your prayers and look forward to giving you a good report when I return.If you think of anyone that would like this prayer request, please feel free to pass it on.
