Mexico Prayer Request's (Guest Post)

>> Tuesday, December 29, 2009

I am posting an email that was sent out by our trip coordinator, Daniel Osborne



Friends and family,
As we leave for Mexico, all of us on the team greatly value your prayer support. We fully know that we cannot do these things on our own and we need His help 24/7! Below are some specific prayer requests... when He brings us to your mind, please take the time to lift us up in prayer. Throughout the trip, please be praying that our hearts would be focused on Him... that He would open the hearts of those to whom we are ministering... and that He would keep us safe! (Feel free to pass this on to whoever may have not received it... the more prayers the better!)
The people that are on this trip:
Joanna Rust
Hillary Hipps
Beth Magnuson
Christian Logerstedt
Mr. Logerstedt
Alex Poythress
Mark Hutchins
Daniel Osborne
Specific prayer requests:
Currently (Dec 28): Alex and Mark are driving from Texas to Colorado... pray for safety on the roads and a profitable time of conversation. Pray that He would be preparing the hearts of the people to whom we will be ministering to.
Tomorrow (Dec 29): Beth leaves at 7 am for Colorado (driving)... pray for safety on the roads and a blessed time with those she travels with.
Wednesday (Dec 30): I leave at 8 pm for Colorado. Please pray that He would continue to work in my heart to prepare me for the trip... specifically that He would give me wisdom in making safe decisions and be a good spiritual leader. Pray that my time spent with a good friend of mine (Micah) is profitable and God-honoring.
Friday (Jan 1): Pray for Hillary as she flies to Denver, that her focus would remain on Him and that she would stay safe.
Saturday (Jan 2): Joanna leaves in the morning and will stay in AZ with a couple for the night... pray for her safety and encouragement as such things can be somewhat lonely. Also pray that the five of us are an encouragement/blessing to Alex Harris and the others at the wedding. Pray for us as we drive down to AZ all night. Pray for the Logerstedt's as they travel from CA over to AZ that it would be a blessed father/son time and that He would keep them safe as they travel.
Sunday (Jan 3): Pray that everyone arrives on time in AZ and that we catch the bus without issue. Pray that we don't have any issues crossing the boarder and that we can get our FM-T passes with ease and without wasting too much time. Pray that He keeps us safe and guides our discussion as we ride the bus through the night.
Monday (Jan 4): Pray that we are well rested despite the non-pleasant resting conditions and that we will be ready to get going on Monday! Also pray that we all get there safely with all of our stuff. :)
Tuesday - Tuesday (Jan 5-11): Pray for safety as we work on the house and travel to where we need to go. Pray that we would stay united in Christ and that God would give wisdom to each of us guys as we lead the team in devotions. Pray that He would give us exactly the words that need to be said. Pray for safety as we leave for AZ.
Wednesday (Jan 12): Pray that we would all get back safely and back to AZ in time for the 5:30 pm flights. Pray that getting across the border would not be an issue. Pray that we would be a blessing to the missionaries as we leave and to each other.
Thank you very much,
Daniel Osborne (and the team)

Greetings to all my faithful blog readers!

I hope this post finds you all warm and enjoying the family togetherness of the season. :)

God has been doing some exciting things in my life in the past few months and drawing together the strings of two dreams of mine.


Over a year ago I sat down with dad and made a list of the things I wanted to do with my life, near the top of that list was going on a short term missions trip. I started praying that God would open the doors and send an opportunity my way if it was His will for me. For about 6 months nothing happened until I read about an opportunity on the Rebelution Forum to go to Sinaloa Mexico and help put the roof on the Coult Family's house. Long story short I leave a week from today for almost two weeks in Mexico! God is so good! I have been continually awed at the precision of His ways and how He has brought every little detail together so perfectly!

Three days after I return home from Mexico (Jan 15th-16th) my church is hosting a Rebelution video conference of which I am the head coordinator. Ever since I got involved with the Rebelution in 2006 I have wanted to bring them to Omaha. When Dad and I went to their conference in Des Moines, IA the summer of 08 I was completely hooked! When Mr.Nelson asked me to coordinate the video conference at Millard Alliance Church I was excited and very nervous. Once again God took my original plan, tripled it, and then sent it far and wide. He provided willing volunteers and people to help me plan. ( I never knew how many details went into these things!)

By the way...there is still room to register for the conference and we would love to have you! It is $10 per person at the door and you can RSVP to: omaha2010rebelution@gmail.com . If you would like to come but cannot afford the fee just let us know and we are happy to offer assistance. :) (*shamless plug..I know I know*)


God has been so good to me this year and as it ends I am excited to see what lies beyond the sunrise!

Practicing For Politics

Dung flingers...





Project: cleaning out the old chicken poo..er..coop.


We considered applying for sainthood, but unfortunately they were out of halos.






Thomas Edison moment:





Puts a whole new meaning to the phrase: "If you've got any poo... fling it now."





Sometimes I look at us and all I can think is... wow... (take that however you like)



If only she knew....








John was helping Leah fix the fence and his run across the pasture to get her something was just so adorable!




Tada! Us!

Baby it's cooold outside...




When I went to pick mom up from the airport I came up this hill and all this was packed full about 15 ft high. That is when I turned around and took another route. :)




On my way I went through a few passages in the drifts that were barely wide enough for me to fit. The snow came up on both sides to the top of the mirrors on the big van...



Town :)





I am so blessed to have 3 wonderful hard working gentlemen around here to go out in the frigid temperatures and blade the lane!



And a wonderful sidewalk shoveler!









Ahhhhh I love the sight of that on weeks like this one!


Dont'cha all want to move to Nebraska!

I am working on launching the new look for my blog but I accidentally reverted the old look to the original. Gotta love the domesticated child trying to be a nerd.... :-\
I am sorry about the poll text; I cannot for the life of me figure out how to change the text color... so if you need to see what it says, highlight it ;-)

Stay tuned for the new (and more awesome) look! :D

Introducing

Our newest feature


"Quote of the Day"

My goal here is to post one quote each day that was particularly excellent, witty, brilliant, or just plain amusing! Mainly I will be quoting family, but really, anything that I come across and is worth passing along could show up. ;-)

The quotes will appear on the top right of the page and eventually will have a link below where the archives are stored.

I am going to try to post one each day but don't get mad at me if I forget! Just look at it this way; if I do not post a quote it is because our day was very boring or VERY exciting. ;-)
