The Lord watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. - PSALM 146:9 DAY 4: Monday, Nov. 5 Pray for safe travels as the team leaves for Guliopole and for the lunch they will share with the Mel’s House graduates.

and the joy of belonging to a family of faith. Pray for the intentionality of the team, no matter where they are, that they would be sensitive to the voice of the Lord and be bold for Christ. “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.” – JOHN 14:18-20 DAY 6: Wednesday, Nov. 7 Join the team in prayer as the girls and guys split up to spend time with the kids. Join those in prayer that are participating in a prayer walk and/ or playing soccer in the park. Pray for house parents Tonia and Vova as they spend time together alone — for renewed strength and a time to build their relationship — while the team stays with the children and cooks an American dinner for them. Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation. God settles the solitary in a home; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity. - PSALM 68:5-6 DAY 7: Thursday, Nov. 8 Pray for morning games with the children, preparation of the garden for winter and for the farewells to the kids and house parents.

By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches. - PROVERBS 24:3-4 DAY 8: Friday, Nov. 9 Pray for the team debrief time. Pray that the team will reflect on all God has shown them and how to apply what they’ve learned to their daily lives.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” – MATTHEW 9:37-38 DAY 9: Saturday, Nov. 10 Pray for safety and traveling mercies for the team as they take an early morning flight from Kiev, transfer in Europe, and arrive in Richmond this evening.
