OK prayer warriors...time to go to work....Please start your prayers for our Young Life Kili climbers. As far as I know, there are still 29 on the mountain, and they will begin the final ascent at midnight (4:00 PM Tuesday our time). They will hike in the dark and cold from 15,500 to 19,000 feet plus to arrive at the Uhuru peak for sunrise. After a brief stay on the summit, they will then begin their descent to the next base camp. It will be a 14 hour hike for them and they will need constant prayer! I have not heard from the group since they left 13,800 feet on Monday AM, but I know God is their protection and shield. Pray for their strength, altitude sickness, endurance, faith and protection. The weather is cold but clear so thank you God for clear skies! I am claiming the verses below for our group over the next 18 hours...Blessings! Suzanne Haverty
Psalm 18:30-36:
"God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the Lord? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength, and he makes my way perfect. He makes me as surefooted as a deer, enabling me to stand on mountain heights. He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great. You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping."
Amen!
