Heavenly Father, we give you thanks and praise for Judy, Grace, Trey and Patti.  Thank you for their love for you and their servant hearts to go to the other side of the world to share this love with the young people of Tanzania, East Africa.  As they leave their homes today and head to the airport in Minneapolis take away any apprehension they have or their family has.  Hold them securely in your hands and fill them with your peace that exceeds our understanding.  Help them bond in friendship as they spend many hours together in airports and in the air.  Help each of them to get good rest on their flights.  In Jesus’ name I pray.  Amen.

The Lord will keep you from all harm—he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.   Psalm 121:7-8
