The Mission Trip Students and Chaperones Returned Friday

Heavenly Father, we give thanks for the safe return of the mission trip students and chaperones. Gratitude is expressed for Your protection throughout their travels. Thank You for the opportunity to serve You and share Your love in the mission field.  Grant them wisdom and discernment as they reflect on their experiences. Help them to integrate the lessons and growth into their daily lives. May the lessons learned remain with them always.  We ask that You would continue to use them as Your instruments, here at home. Open their eyes to opportunities to continue serving and sharing Your love in their own backyards.

Prayers are offered for their continued spiritual growth and that they would remain steadfast in their faith. Strengthen them to speak Your Word boldly and be prepared to explain their hope in Christ.

Lord, we are so proud of them for answering Your call and going out to serve. Bless them for their willingness to be Your hands and feet in the world.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.
