Tomorrow I leave for Sri Lanka with some anxiety. Anxiety I am sure that comes from me not being in control of this trip which I am certain is right where God wants me to be.
I will be arriving in the capital city of Colombo at 4:30 AM Sunday morning. From there I will take a taxi to my hotel to join the others that are flying in from around the world to give encouragement and support to those working to better the lives of those devastated by nearly 30 years of war.
The following are my words to God that I hope you will join me in praying:
-We praise you Lord for a recent end to the war
-Please strengthen your children to give beyond themselves to help those who have so little
-We praise you for never leaving us alone and involving us in your desire to love one another
-We ask for clean water, good food, medicine, and sanitation for the 300,000 living in the camps
-We look to you for healing and reconciliation between the people of this country.
-We ask for you to open the doors this week for our group to reach into places you desire to us to be
To you be the glory. Amen
Kurt, Karen and I are praying that you will be open to how God will be using you on this trip to take part in what He is doing in Sri Lanka.

Hello my friend - I'm reminded of the Tower of Babel when I think of the factions & tribalism we encounter worldwide . . . becuase of sin & pride "we" live in fear. Sri Lanka is not immune. The only reaction or response with any measurable efficacy that I've ever seen is God's Love in action - and you are there as a display of His Love in action. He came to set the captives FREE, and that freedom begins with Him working through us; through you. To the Freedom God offers and the Love we have through His Son! I pray that God's Wisdom, Strength and Courage will fill you to overflowing. Show them Love Kurt - it's what He showed you.
