Prayer Night

On Sunday, June 12th, our group was blessed by friends and family who attended our prayer night send off gathering.  We started the night with a little information about Guatemala presented by Jenny Long and individual team member introductions by the funny Charlie Moore. 

Next, Sabrina Joseph interviewed 3 members of the Watersedge group who just got back from Guatemala a few weeks ago.  They were able to offer advice on what to bring, what to expect, and they shared their own Godly moments from the trip.  I think I can speak for the team by saying, we are all so excited about the trip after hearing all the ways that God is moving there.

The last part of the night was spent in prayer.  We had a group prayer where Amanda was in the middle surrounded by the team who were then surrounded by our loved ones.  Everyone in the room had their hands on another, sending out prayers for the team.  Some prayed for safety, some prayed for wisdom, others prayed for unity.  As a team, it was a power experience to share.

This was followed by individual prayer groups that consisted of 2 team members and 4-5 supporters.  It was an amazing feeling to have our friends and family pour out their love and support in prayer for our indvidual well being.  The last prayer was a group prayer for Guatemala and the people we will encounter.

Overall, the experience was touching and filled our hearts with the love of family and the love of God.  We cannot imagine a better way to start our last week of preparation.  God has big things in store for us, we can feel it.  We are all so excited for this time we have been given to do God's work.
