Prayer for Shaun (Mission Trip to the Phillipines)

1. Philippines is not a very safe place. I only knew that after my Skype session with my mum. Before that, I was totally oblivious to the dangers in Philippines. After reading the website below:

And this happened a few days ago.

Typhoons hit northern Philippines 2 months ago.

And in January 2011, a public bus was bombed in Makati, central Manila. Five people were killed and more than a dozen injured. Terrorist attacks could occur anytime, anywhere, even in Manila.
The last three points hit pretty near home, 'cos we'll be based around Manila.
Pray for the team, myself included, that we'll arrive back on Australian soils safe. And that we'll alert for any news updates. And when the situation arises, we will trust in God's protection, the Spirit's prompting and do the right thing at the right time. Pray for physical and spiritual covering for the whole team, including Hope Manila.


2. This is from Hope Manila:
Please pray for Ps Soradej from Hope Manila. He was injured yesterday in a car accident whilst going to officiate a wedding. The car
suddenly lost control, resulting in one side of the car being badly
damaged.

Ps Soradej sustained some facial injuries and is undergoing an
operation to remove some foreign object from his face near the eye
area. His wife Eunice is fine. There were two others in the car and
they were also injured.

Please pray for him, his wife (who was the driver), and the other two
who were injured. Let's pray for God's miraculous healing. Let's also
pray for Hope Manila. For God's protection and also that His grace
would overwhelm and sustain them in this time.


3. You can also pray that my journalling abilities will be activated, because I'm not one to write down good memoirs or stories. So, dedication to keep writing, remembering details, being observant in God's moving, and less slacking.

4. Pray that we'll make an impact in the schools, universities, and prisons we'll be visiting. Pray especially for my sessions (highlighted).
