"You are only as strong as your weakest man"

Pray for Unity.  This team does not know each other at a very deep level yet.  We have only talked on the phone as all four of us one time.  We need to get deep and get there quick.  There can't be any half-hearted communications and poor feelings toward each other on a trip like this.  We need to be a unified group of guys that learns to love and care about each other quickly.  Fortunately, I know Mike Phipps really well already.  We both went to Bethel together and have become very good friends and accountability partners.  I truly believe that our group is very solid, but prayer could still be used in this area because of the fact we have not spent much time together, let alone in an extremely different environment for all of us.

Please pray against sickness.  I have this feeling that Satan is going to try to use sickness to stop us from accomplishing our mission.  If one man goes down it holds us all back.  As a group we need everyone to be healthy.  Pray that God would protect all that we come in contact with physically through our mouth (food) and through our skin (mosquitos, spiders, etc.).

Thanks again.  I will be leaving in less than 2 days!  Wow...
