Hasty Acclimation

To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.  1 CORINTHIANS 9:22-23

He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all - how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?  ROMANS 8:32

Team members are now in their assigned ministry locations. New countries, new cultures, new foods, new languages, new time zones!!! Pray that team members would quickly acclimate to their new environments.

Team Unity

"I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me."  JOHN 17:23

"I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought."  1 CORINTHIANS 1:10

The teams will begin ministry soon after they arrive to their assigned countries. Pray that teams would be unified as they minister so that the love of Christ would be evident in all they say and do to the glory of the Father.

Safe Travel

"It was the Lord our God himself who brought us...He protected us on our entire journey and among all the nations through which we traveled."  JOSHUA 24:17

As the teams head to their places of ministry for the summer, please pray God's hand of protection as they travel. Pray for smooth transitions through airports, customs, and the various logistical challenges that may be associated with their travel abroad.

Each day of the prayer blog will feature specific prayer requests with Scripture as well as a "Team of the Day" and a "Country of the Day". 

Catching up with Joe & Elizabeth

Where in the world are Joe & Elizabeth?!?!

NEW TEAM: Village Hopping English Teacher

Backpack from village to islands seeing God's creation while sharing Creation to Christ. As a native English speaker they are interested in having you visit.

Go to an UUPG (Unreached Unegaged People Group) island and other villages as a tourist and English teacher, sharing Bible stories leading the Gospel is the goal. The island and villages are less modern yet the untouched aspect brings a firsthand look at some of God's finest creations. Visit local boarding schools which teach Arabic and how to read the Al Quran from the age of 5. Students hear many lies of what others believe thus providing a great opportunity to share the Truth.

Team members will live out of their backpack, staying in each location 1-2 weeks at a time. Good public speaking and presenting skills are helpful. Share Bible stories and prayer walk as you go on your way.

Your first stop will be a joint orientation with other Nehemiah Teams. Learning the skills needed to carry out your assignment as well as team building will fill these first few days. Your team will then fly to your final destination for the summer. Following your ministry time you will return to the US for a joint debrief... sharing all God has done over the summer!

TEAM MEMBERS NEEDED: Island Castaway

In the western Philippines there are many remote islands where there are very few believers. People feel like castaways: isolated and disconnected. Slow down for the summer, make friends, learn culture, share LIFE.

Use your possible interests in healthcare in reaching out to these rural communities... teaching Mother's classes, nutrition classes, basic healthcare checks... these would be a tremendous help in these rural areas. As you minister to their physical needs you are seeking to meet their spiritual needs also.
