Battle...

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. - Ephesians 6

There are good things happening, all over the world, but specifically at World Orphans. I would ask you to pray for the staff and their families, for God's protection. For more details and more ways to pray click HERE.

And pray for the team I'll be traveling with to Ethiopia and Kenya from March 10-March 21. Pray that it would be a mutually encouraging time as we visit with our brothers and sisters who are caring for orphans. Pray also that our eyes would be opened, that we would have a better picture of the Kingdom of God and the church of Jesus Christ. Pray that we'll be honoring to Christ in how we handle ourselves.

We have the opportunity to participate in three HisKids Sports outreach events, pray that we'll learn from those and that it will be good for the team and for the communities we'll be spending time with.

Many, many thanks...look for pictures and thoughts from the trip when I get back!
