Going to Africa

[Sharna]

Hey guys.
I am leaving the country on Saturday to go to Tanzania. Me and my family will be staying with a wonderful lady, that we met through our neighbors, in Dar es Salaam. She owns a day care center for orphaned children, and she needs our help. Please pray for me and my family as we help her and the children out, all the while showing God's amazing love.
There was a terrorist attack last year in Dar, and the Muslim population is very dense. In fact, we have to be careful that we don't wear any YoungLife shirts or clothing, as YoungLife volunteers have been attacked before. Pray that we can stay safe in this hostile environment, and that, if it is needed, we can witness to the people of Islam as well!

Thanks!

Psalm 138 (New International Version)

Psalm 138
Of David.
1 I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart;
before the "gods" I will sing your praise.

2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and will praise your name
for your love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.

3 When I called, you answered me;
you made me bold and stouthearted.

4 May all the kings of the earth praise you, O LORD,
when they hear the words of your mouth.

5 May they sing of the ways of the LORD,
for the glory of the LORD is great.

6 Though the LORD is on high, he looks upon the lowly,
but the proud he knows from afar.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble,
you preserve my life;
you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,
with your right hand you save me.

8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me;
your love, O LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.



Please do keep us updated on how everything is going I am so excited for you!

God bless you in all your journeys in life:)
