Prayer Request!
What I thought would be awesome is if I could get some people to pray for these days, that God would be with the group each of these days and that the Spirit would be with us strongly!
If you’re interested, please drop a comment below and share what day you’ll be praying for…! The more the better!
Thanks guys, miss and love all of you. I’ll leave you with this vid… teehee!
Korea – Day 3 – The Schedule from John on Vimeo.
Food looks sooo good… too bad there's such a lack of good Korean food here, looks like I'd like it…
Praying and praying and praying for ya dude
John…great video quality, making me hungry! Covered in prayer on Dec 11th …keep the updates coming.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Thanks so much! Let more people know!
I've got December 11.
AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEE!
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUM!!!
my stomach is happy.
I've been praying for you first thing every morning (although… I admit got a bit later start than you on Sunday!) Looks like they are keeping you pretty busy, but I hope you are getting some time to process everything, too.
I'm praying the 9th, 10th, and 13th. Coveting the food!
thanks brother ! food is the "best" part of being here… haha.
yes. today.
thanks girl!
thanks Michelle! love it!
thanks Alison! appreciate it!
oh my! thanks for the prayer-love! awesome!!!!!!
Praying for you now and again each day. Will also be praying for the other families.
Peace and good travels.
Thanks John! rock it!
ah. i know you are brother… thanks so much for the confidence.
ok so nvm my tweet, b/c obviously you are eating well! i love that koreans eat that stuff first thing in the morning. beats pancakes any day!
also, i'll pray for dec 9! which it already is in korea, right?
everyday!!
w00t!
Dude, that food looks awesome. Praying right now!
December 11 & 12 specifically praying for all adoptees and parents
I will pray specifically for 12/13. That your (pl.) meeting with other adoptees living in Korea will provide valuable witness time to those who do not have a relationship with Christ.
Thanks Leo! That means a lot to us.
Sweet. After all, I could not let 13 down. It is your favorite number you know. haha.
oh snap, you remembered!
Oh, yes my friend. Oh, yes. It is kind of like George Costanza wanting to name his son "7". Stored away in the old memory bank.
ha. righteous.
Our prayers are going out in thanksgiving that this kind of trip can happen, for safe and healthy travels for all of you, for answers if possible and peace about it if not and finally that everyone knows that they are God's children first and foremost and totally loved by Him. So, do you have anything besides t-shirts to wear? Mark would totally fit in with this trip! Ha!
sue packed me some other stuff… she's awesome!
