Dear Prayer Partner, I would be blessed if you would join me in asking God's hand of favor, blessing on our Oakbridge trip that departs at 5 AM tomorrow morning (Friday).   Yesterday I read Mark 1 - in which Jesus does a few miracles and the people responsed with amazement "because he taught them as one who had authority" v22. Also in v27 "A new teaching, and with authority!" What strikes me is that Jesus is The one in authority over everything, including the chains, the voices, the burdens that entangle us and these kids.  Pray that Jesus would speak with authority into these kids lives. His voice would penetrate the walls they have built up and break the chains that are wrapped around them.    Pray for safety, God's timing, and God to speak into the lives of leaders and kids. Pray that leaders would have energy, wisdom, patience, and eyes to see.   In His grip, ry
