Meeting 7 - the Power of Prayer

Last Sunday the team got together for meeting number seven. We were again at the Bryson's home for food and fellowship. This time we had barbecued burgers, homemade potato salad, chips and drinks - but no fire. We discussed finances and the requests that we keep receiving for us to bring things for the AZ team and for additional fees and monies. However, the topic of the day was prayer. Without people praying for us and this trip, we would be lost. Knowing that we are lifted up before the Lord by our team of prayer warriors is a great encouragement to us. We made sure each and every member of the team going to Zambia has at least a few people praying for them - and they do! (Many of you are praying for us and we are extremely thankful!) We read through the Zambia section of the book Operation World and then we spent a great deal of time praying for the country. We would highly encourage you to get a copy of this book - it has a section on every country in the world. The book gives country facts and statistics along with specific ways to pray for each one. There is also a children's version and although it does not cover every single country it is full of photos. The photos really bring the countries to life, making it more real and relevant to younger readers. And to me, too! I really get a lot out of pictures and stories, not just facts. So, add both books to your library and set off on an incredible prayer journey around the world.
