Praise the Lord, we are closing in on 80% of our financial support and buying plane tickets for August 21!! (The date was pushed ahead a few days to allow the Verkaiks time to prepare for our arrival.)
A friend is praying the following amazing Scriptural prayer for us each day. She sent this prayer to me and I was amazed at how the Lord had shown her what our specific needs are. That is worth more to us than anything!!! We would be so grateful, if the Lord moves you to do this, if you too would agree with us in prayer before the Lord for all these things.
Precious Father,
I plead the Devoe family will be filled with the Holy Spirit and will daily walk in His power (Ephesians 5:18; Galatians 5:16).
I pray they will speak the Word of God with boldness (Acts 4:31; Ephesians 6:19).
That they will present the gospel clearly to unbelievers (Colossians 4:4).
I praise You cuz I know they will be accepted by the citizens of Nigeria, the unbelievers, the believers, and the missionaries in the area where they are laboring (Romans 15:30-31).
God, I plead that You will protect the Devoe Family from the attacks of Satan and his demons (Romans 15:30-31; 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3).
Father, I ask that You would open doors and hearts to receive the gospel as Meredith and her husband minister in their place of service (Colossians 4:3).
I pray that You will make their ministry exceedingly fruitful and that You will glorify Yourself through this ministry (2 Thessalonians 3:1).
Father, Oh Father, I am trusting with whole heart, mind, body and spirit that You will deliver this family from loneliness and frustration (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 18:9-10; Hebrews 13:5).
Lord, I pray that You will create in Meredith and her husband a servant's heart (Philippians 2:5-10).
I ask that they will live and labor each day for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).
Father, I honor Meredith's desire to be a vessel through which the love of God can flow to others, and I pray that you anoint her with your loving Holy Spirit Fire. I pray this for her husband as well Lord. Let them breath Your Breath into all the hearts that hear them. (Romans 5:5; John 13:34-35).
Guide Meredith and her husband in Your specific direction for their ministry (Psalm 37:5).
I pray this family will experience an even MORE growing and intimate relationship with the
Lord Jesus Christ (John 15:4-5).
I pray as they are working in Nigeria they will be blessed with a deeper and clearer understanding of the Word of God (John 16:13).
Father, I plead that You will continually protect The Devoe Family from all harm and ask that You would strengthen all of them physically (Genesis 2:7).
I ask that You would bless Meredith with peace and assurance about the well being of family members that are left at home (1 Peter 5:7).
Fill this family with Your joy in all situations and let this joy sustain them in all situations (Nehemiah 8:10).
Father, I pray that they see people and things from Your perspective (Proverbs 3:5).
Lord, I ask that You would bless and strengthen every family member from cousins to in-laws, to immediate family to close family friends. Fill them with need and desire to lift Meredith, her husband and children without fail in prayer and support. (Ephesians 5:22-6:4).
I plead that this family will have a renewed and growing zeal to share the gospel with unbelievers (Romans 1:15-16).
I ask that they be completely yielded to Christ and willing to die to self in all matters (Mark 8:34-35).
I pray that they grow in humility (1 Peter 5:5-6).
I ask You to create a thankful heart in The Devoe family, especially in times of difficulty (Ephesians 5:20).
I pray that You will raise up prayer partners for The Devoe Family (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
I plead that all of their needs--physical, spiritual, emotional, and spiritual--will be met by You through Your grace and power (Philippians 4:19).
I Praise Father That I know this family will labor from godly motives and not from a desire to please people (2 Corinthians 4:2).
I am thankful Lord, that you would raise up strong believers around them who will encourage them in the tasks that God has given to them (Philemon 20).
I'm Praising You Lord that I know this family longs to be holy and live a life of obedience to the Word of God, I am honored to call them friend. (1 Peter 1:15-16).
I Praise You Lord, that I KNOW they will be salt and light to the people to which they have been sent (Matthew 5:13-14).
Father, I thank You for strength that will enable them to pray for those who persecute them and for those who spitefully use them (Matthew 5:44).
I pray that this family would not lag in diligence but would be fervent in spirit, GLORY FATHER, I know they will rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and continue steadfastly in prayer (Romans 12:11-12).
I ask that they not lose focus in ministry but that they would have their priorities ordered by You. I pray and stand in awe as they set their minds on things above and not on the things of the earth (Colossians 3:2-3).
I thank You Father, that they WILL be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that their labor is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Father, I ask that you comfort her as she prepares to make this journey. Lord, I'm a woman, I know how her heart must be fluttering as she looks around her home, sees her friends, talks to her family. Her heart must be torn in two sometimes, Lord, fill her with MIGHTY WINGS OF PURPOSE. Fill her with peace and courage. Renew this in my dear friend everyday as she walks a path that cuts into the unknown, make everything familiar and new, fill it with Love. Ease any concerns she has about loved ones. I praise You Father for the blessings that are going to fill their hearts, for the goodness and good things that are set on providing for those less fortunate. Father, make Meredith's voice like the voice of an angel as she teaches Your Word, Your Love, Your Miracles, Your Grace and Your Mercy. More than anything Precious Father, keep my precious sister from any kind of harm, sickness, demon, bug, political squabbles, vengeful God haters, protruding rock, falling rock, depression, doubt, weariness, anxiety, FATHER, I PRAY THAT NOTHING TOUCH THIS FAMILY THAT IS NOT OF YOU... I praise You Father, I adore Your Love and In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen.
