Prayer Calendar for Missions Trips to Zimbabwe

May 22, 2017


Dear LTLA Friends,

We covet your prayers over the next month as the ISU Navigators team and my family serve here in Zimbabwe. God really blessed the efforts of Thomas & Tara Gilbert as well as Shane Thomas from the Life to Life Ministry at the Univ of Central Florida, and the ISU Navigators team has made good initial contacts with Navigators students at the University of Zimbabwe. Today, they travel with me to serve with Life to Life Africa in Chinhoyi for the next two weeks before they return to serve for two weeks in Harare with The Navigators. My wife, Julie, and daughters, Johanna (11) & Micaela (8), join me here in Zimbabwe on June 6.

As you can see it is a busy time in ministry, so we are in need of your prayers. Below is a prayer calendar to guide you. The ISU Navigators team is reading Isaiah 40-66 for their quiet times with the Lord during their trip, so I have highlighted verses from these chapters to guide us in prayer. 


Gratefully,
Mike Sulc
