• Pray for me as I am working on the 2012 Short Term Trip Schedule.  Pray for wisdom and discernment as we put the details for 2012 trips together.  There is an ever growing demand for Short Term Mission Work Teams, Health Care Teams and Ministry Teams, but there is only so much we can do with our current staff.  We are praying that God would burden the hearts of the right people to join our staff and help us do more for the sake of the gospel.
