Today April Sutherland embarks on a long journey to Benin in Africa where she will be working with Mercy Ships. Our prayers will be with her on this trip. She writes:
As I head off with another Mercy Team this week, I'm asking that you take time to pray for the country I'm heading to. Benin is the birthplace of the Voodoo religion and spiritual darkness. It has a Christian population of only 5%! I'll be working with the others in the team to help finish a newly built orphanage and spend time with families and children who have nothing to live for - but do.
The aim of Mercy Teams is to bring hope through an outward expression of the Gospel whilst providing practical help to communities such as healthcare, crop harvesting, teaching etc. Please pray for the families and children we meet and that the team are safe as they travel from all over the world. All thoughts and prayers from home are much appreciated!
