Eighteen members (and friends) of Asbury UMC will be departing for Tanzania this Thursday, July 6, 2006. There are four physicians, four nurses, two optometry students, a pharmacist, a pastor and several helpers. While in Tanzania they will be conducting medical, dental and eye clinics. This will be the seventh year that Asbury has sent a large medical team to minister in Christ's name to the people of Tanzania. Many of the team members have participated in previous mission trips to Tanzania and many are taking family members with them on this trip. Your prayers for the safety and success of team are treasured.
We hope to be bringing you regular updates from the team as often as they have access to the internet from their location. Please check often for a journal of their experiences and to learn of specific prayer requests. In the meantime, please pray for safe travel, good weather, favor with customs officials (for their medical supplies) and for Christ to be honored and lifted up in all they say and do. Please also pray for the team "that they will be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love..." (Col. 2:2 NIV)
