Prayers for Cape Town, South Africa trip

On Thursday, April 19, we had our official commissioning for the Cape Town venture. During that time, people were praying for me and my team. Below are some of the things people prayed for me and said about me. It was really an amazing experience to hear all these wonderful and encouraging words and prayers. I want you to know that you are an encouragement to me as well, and I wanted to share this with you.
