Dear Heavenly Father, we praise You for a new year with new beginnings. Lord help us to leave behind those things that hinder our walk with You and help us to be bolder living a life for You. We pray for the mission team today as You guide their journey. Lord, we pray for the souls they will encounter... souls that need to hear Your word or just see love. We pray that these lives will never be the same. Lord, we pray for the mission team's families back home. Watch over them. Lord, we give You the praise, the honor and the glory. Amen.
