We received the below email prayer requests today from the missionaries in Venezuela arranging our trip. It seems there has been some turbulence. Thanks in advance for any prayers offered up for us.

Please pray for the situation in the public university here in Maracaibo and in light of the team of US professors that were are arriving on Wed. to speak.
Last Thursday in Humanities and on Friday in the Medical School someone threw a gas-bomb. mostly smoke and fumes. this may be in protest to the university elections that are going on right now. these elections are just as political and volatile as the national elections. so today they are considering whether or not to suspend classes, possibly for a day or two or maybe longer.

Starting Wed. through Friday we have 8 evangelistic talks lined up in four different faculties, all pending on if there will be classes. The professors with “Faculty Commons” (CCC US prof. ministry) will be presenting great evangelistic material from a scientific perspective. Plus they will be attacking the issue of pornography here as well. Of course the enemy does not want these powerful messages to be shared and potentially to so many people.
and the Lord wants us to pray more so He can display His glory and power over the enemy and we can see Him transform lives from the kingdom of the Satan to the kingdom of His beloved Son. =)

please forward this to anyone who will also pray with us.
Thank you! In His power and grace, Sheri

Please pray everyone on our team will make their flight connections and arrive on time.

Thanks.

PS. I added the current weather info for Maracaibo on the right side of this page. Yesterday the “Feels like” peaked at 116.

Please pray that the team will get rest. Phil, in particular, will be speaking for many hours each day, some talks are back-to-back-to-back-to-back.

Once the schedule is finalized for the last time, I will post it so you can see who is speaking when.

Thanks a lot for your prayers.

Please pray that students and faculty will attend the talks.

The team in Ven is working to advertise and spread the word (and the Word). We hope all the talks will be well attended.

Thanks for your prayers.

PS. You don't have to post your name if you don't want to, but could you post a comment? I'm trying to see if anyone how many people are reading these requests. Thanks.

Please pray that our entire team will stay healthy throughout the trip.

I've heard people say that traveling increases the chances of getting sick (e.g., organisms in the water, sanitation, unique viruses, etc.).

Thanks a lot for your prayers.
