Tomorrow, my dad, sister Jennifer, brother Jon, friend Taylor P, and I are leaving for our trip overseas.  We will be traveling to Dublin, Ireland first for the revival conference (Nov. 13-14) and then on to Wales for another revival conference (Nov. 15-17) that is being held at Moriah Chapel which is where the Lord started the 1904 Welsh revival, and then we will end up our trip doing some sightseeing in London before coming home on Nov. 26th.

Prayer points:

• Safe traveling tomorrow (driving up to Kansas City, getting checked in and through security, and catching all our flights)
• No stress…..especially during those overwhelming moments like in London during rush hour on the underground when you’re not sure which train to get on!)
• When we arrive in Dublin we’re going to rent a car, so pray for the Lord’s help in finding the right car at an economical price and also for the Lord’s help with the exciting adventure of driving in a foreign country
• A speedy recovery from jetlag
• Pray for the Lord to work in our hearts at the revival conference and also for opportunities to minister and share the love of Christ with all those around us.
• Pray for all the speakers at the revival conference
• Pray for the Lord’s direction for all of our sightseeing in Ireland
• Pray for a safe journey for Jon and Taylor on Nov 16 when they drive with a group of brothers from Ireland to Wales (this will include a ferry ride across the Irish Sea).
• Pray for safe travels for Dad, Jenny and me as we fly from Ireland to Wales on Nov. 17
• Pray for the Lord to work at the revival conference in Wales
• Pray for Taylor and his electronic equipment that he will be using to webcast the conferences
• Pray for the Lord to make us a blessing to the families who are graciously hosting us in Ireland and Wales.
