Father, take what each of us has to share and multiply it to glorify your purposes.

Prepare our hearts, and the hearts of all we come in contact with, to encounter You in each and every moment.

Open the eyes of each team member to see how truly blessed we are to be able to serve alongside our Kenyan brothers and sisters in Christ.

Work within each of us so that Your Son is clearly seen in our actions, thoughts, and deeds.

Open the hearts of those who don't know You, and use Your servants to lay seed on that fertile soil through the relationships built.

Father, protect each and every team member's safety, health, and strength of heart for what You have in store.

Help me, oh God, to serve, to surrender, and to strive to be more Christ-like because of this experience.
