DAY #23 - KRISTEN YOUNG
Knowing that God had called her and her husband Charles to Africa, Kristen willingly put the comforts of home in America behind her, trusting in the Lord’s protection, and embraced their new lives in Swaziland. Now she serves with Teresa Rehmeyer in the medical clinics and helps Charles in his work with the youth. She also uses her skills to bless the other missionaries with really great haircuts! Pray that she and Charles continue to thrive in their ministry. Pray that thousands of Africa’s children will know the love of God because Kristen followed the call of God with her husband on their lives to go serve on the mission field.
Today we have invited Colleen Thorp, an Elevate student who was part of the team we prayed for on Day 3, to lead us in prayer for Kristen.
- Lord God, we thank You so much for Kristen Young and her heart to serve Your children in Africa on the Children's Cup team. Thank You for her obedience to Your call and her love for the hurting. We pray that You would continue to stengthen her physically, mentally and spiritually. Give her guidance and instruction in the tasks of every day. Holy Spirit, fan in her a passionate flame for this ministry, and overflow her heart with Your love and compassion for the people of Swaziland. Jesus, I pray that You would bless and protect her marriage with Charles. As they draw closer to You, bring them closer to one another. Please provide for Kristen and Charles financially so that they can continue in the work You have called them and that they will always trust in You alone.
I thank You sweet Jesus that you have made Kristen as a woman after God's own heart. Encourage her this day and always.
