Prayer Requests from Legho

Our travelers are in Legho Village now where they do not have internet access.  Legho is a remote village at the base of Kilimanjaro.  They have worked on the floor of the medical clinic which we began on Into Africa last year, and also visited the children at the local school, where they gave out candy and beanie babies.  They will be working there this week, worshiping and experiencing God in amazing ways- as they are all now way out of their comfort zones!  On Friday they are going to stay in homes in the village, before leaving on Saturday and dividing up.  Please pray for the Kilimanjaro group as they prepare mentally and physically for their climb that begins on Saturday.  Pray for the home stays to go well, as this is a first for the villagers, also.  Lastly, please pray that the clouds will clear before they leave.  If that happens, everyone will get to see Kili, which is quite awe inspiring. Steve Larme (YL Africa) said last fall that, to many in Africa, the mountain is like God.  Even though they often cannot see the mountain for the clouds, they always know that it is there.  God is the same;  He is always with them. How awesome for each of our group to experience that in their own personal way, to be still and know that He is God, always faithful and always true.  Be exalted, O Lord.
