A Biola University, co-ed team of 8 will from June 19 to July 20, be serving widows, orphans, and war refugees through counseling and bringing the love of Jesus Christ in Sri Lanka.
The need in Sri Lanka is great. Many of the widows, orphans, and refugees have been abused and lack basic necessities because of their vulnerable state. Through sharing testimonies, planning vacation Bible school, leading Bible studies, serving refugees in medical clinics, and counseling orphans, we hope to share the new life we have been given in Christ. Additionally, our team goal is to raise funds and help construct a children’s home in the war-torn area of northern Sri Lanka.
Please join us and support us in praying for Sri Lanka and in praying for our team-we need prayer to unite the team and be truly the HANDS and FEET of Jesus in Sri Lanka.
Team Purpose Statement: To grow as a Team under Christ and help the Orphans, widows, and war refugees discover God as Abba Father, embracing a genuine adoption as Children of God.<
Team Vision Statement: To serve God through actively and humbly loving the people of Sri Lanka.
Theme Verses: Jeremiah 1:4-19 "But the LORD said to me, "Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD...."
Psalm 62:5-8 "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God: he is my mighty rock, my refuge.Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
We will be posting prayer requests, updates and any current news at least once a week; so,if you will, we invite you to follow us on this journey that God has prepared for His Kingdom.
Above all, Give the Glory to God.
