Our 2014 Samoa Team invites you to follow us as we journey to the beautiful island of Savaii, Samoa. On June 18-28, 2014, we will be heading to the village of Satupaitea on the smaller island of Savaii in Western Samoa. Please be praying for our team as we prepare on this great adventure to do the Lord's work!
Please be praying for health, as some of our members have not been feeling 100%! Pray for safety as we travel, smooth check ins and transitions throughout our 13+ trip there! Pray for rest as we prepare and energy when we arrive! Pray for unity as our team of 22 (13 men + 9 ladies) will get to know each other very well over the next couple of weeks! Pray for boldness as we share our RELATIONSHIP with our Savior as opposed to the Samoan tradition of Christian religion. Pray for courage and strength as we step outside of our comfort zones and say YES to what the Lord has for us!
As Paul prayed for the Ephesians, I lift up this prayer for our Samoan brothers and sisters:
"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
--- Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Eph 3:14-21)
