Mission Trip Preview

Today we sent out our prayer support letters for Ethan's upcoming mission trip to Kenya and Ukraine. Here are the details, all tentative of course, and all dependent upon God's leading and perfect will:
Nairobi, Kenya July 16-27 trip teaching with Training Leaders International
Ethan will be joining a small group who will take turns teaching Biblical Theology at a Bible College and teaching pastors and evangelists in the slums of Nairobi. He will also have the opportunity to preach one Sunday while he is there. Ethan's group will be led by Darren Carlson who is the director of TLI.
Prayer Requests for this trip include:
  • God's guidance as the men prepare to teach
  • Health as they travel
  • The Holy Spirit to lead their encounters in Africa
  • Financial provision
Ukraine July 27-August 7 trip encouraging the church in Priluki through teaching, service, and Christian fellowship/discipleship. Also to visit and bless the missionaries and churches which we are acquainted with in whatever way would serve them best, whether through teaching, service, or fellowship.
Prayer Requests for Ukraine trip:
  • God's guidance in planning this trip
  • Healthy physical body after traveling in Kenya
  • Renewed friendships
  • Holy Spirit encounters
We would also appreciate your prayers for the kids and me while we are at home during Ethan's trip. I am extremely supportive of this mission, and wholeheartedly want to serve the Lord by caring for our kids while Ethan is away. God will give us strength, and I pray Jesus will be glorified. So, if you are worried about me, don't! Just pray!

FYI:
One of the items Ethan mentioned in the letter is the opportunity to donate to this mission endeavor. If you are interested in finding out how to donate ONLINE, you may do so by visiting the Training Leaders International and by going to the Support The Cause page. Click on "Donate Now" to proceed to the online donation page. It is important that you indicate your donation is for Ethan Larson's mission trip in the "Special Instructions" part of the form. If you do not take this step, your donation will go to support TLI as an organization rather than to Ethan's trip specifically.
