Team Alaska 2012 -- Please Pray!

Team Alaska includes ten women who will be working with Alaska Missions during Week 1 of Salmon Frenzy. Alaska residents flock to the beach to dip net while the salmon are running and we will be there to serve them -- and their children -- in a variety of ways and to share the love of Christ. Here are some specifics to pray:

• Logistics -- Our team encountered delayed flights leading to missed flights, re-routing, etc. last year. We hope to repeat none of that this year.
• Camaraderie amongst our team -- that our team would love and support each other, work well together, and be team players with the other volunteers, as well. Our team last year came home with a special bond that we hope to see repeated. (We have five of the ten from last year returning and five new ladies).
• Physical energy -- We serve long days on the beach and the sun does not set until after midnight, making it difficult to sleep. We want to have the stamina of the proverbial energizer bunny!
• Wisdom -- to know when to be bold in our speech and when to speak with our actions
• Fruit -- What a blessing it would be for the Lord to allow us to see eternal fruit from our ministry!
• Families -- Please pray that our families function well in our absence.
• Preparation -- Please ask God to prepare our hearts to serve unselfishly and to prepare the hearts of those we serve to see and ponder something different.
• Weather -- Pray that the weather is amazing. This was the case last year -- as we heard comment after comment about how "It is never like this!"  We were able to smile & say, "We've been praying for good weather for months."
• Fish -- Pray that the salmon are coming in abundantly -- again, this was the case last year and we were able to share our prayers for the fishing.
• Personal blessings -- that God would reveal Himself to each of us in unexpected, but delightful ways during this trip.
