We leave for Houston at 6:30 AM Saturday morning taking over 70 international students from Tarrant County to visit NASA, to stay at homes, visit churches and enjoy great times together. I am writing this at 12:30 Saturday morning and so I want to keep this short.

I wanted to make sure I got this out because there have been small hints lately of some spiritual attacks going on. Relationship problems within teams… passive aggressive behavior…people being easily irritated… feeling overwhelmed over things that God controls… a student close to the meeting Jesus getting in trouble with another ministry… more resistance than ever by a small majority on this trip (but also a huge excitement by the majority. All this is clearly not from God AND all at once. God is in control but this is also the time to call in the spiritual prayer forces.

God is doing good stuff and I sense a real sense of community on this trip to Houston. I believe God will do stuff but so with the enemy to disrupt it. Please pray for…

• Safety on the trip for all (80+ total people including volunteers and students)
• Good Holy Spirit driven attitudes by all the team and host families with each other and with the students. Good attitudes of the students.
• The unearthing of people of peace in the time together
• Open hearts for the students who have been chosen to come.
• Safetly and encouragement for Lisa and the kids back home and patience to weather this very busy time.
• Good host families who really love on the students and share the love of Jesus at the students’ pace.
• Some student who are real close to have good conversations with the people they are with both in the cars but also in the homes and at NASA.

Thanks all. Appreciate your praying as you receive this because we probably are on the road as you read…
