God of all creation, we praise you this day for the
opportunity to be with and serve your people in Senegal. Amidst our pre trip anxieties, we know deep
within that we are called to bring health and wholeness in the name of Jesus
Christ to many people. Give us the
patience for when the world is moving at a different pace. Give us a greater vision that will see the
beauty in the variety of people, cultures, and faiths that we will
encounter. Give us courage and strength
for any times of trial. Provide us with
faith and hope that will see us through the journey. Above all, give us the love of Christ that reconciles
all people into your presence.
We trust in your
presence in all that we do. Calm our
hearts and minds and give us the needed peace for this journey. Keep our bodies
strong and healthy so that we may serve as many as possible. Be with those who will be transporting us and
hosting us. Be with families and loved one and reunite us with them in great
joy. Be with our churches, hospitals,
clinics and friends who have supported us and may we return to them with
stories of the goodness you have shared through us. Hear all our prayers and meditations. Amen.
