Prayer Requests, etc.

Chris and the team leave early tomorrow morning for Japan. The suitcase and box of supplies are ready for the door. Chris is busy filling the ipod for the flight and choosing the best books to pass the time in the skies. If you are reading this tonight or in the next few days, please lift Chris and the team up in prayer.
Please pray....

1. for smooth travel --- no cancellations or delays
2. safety
3. physical endurance-- working on jet lag doesn't sound like fun :-(
4. that Chris and the others will be able to encourage the current team that is on the field long term.

and perhaps the most important...

5. That the team may be a light for Christ to a country that is so broken.

6. That God will be h
onored

Why the name "Drinking From Our Saucer"?

The full phrase is "I'm drinking from my saucer because my cup is overflowing." It came from Chris's grandmother who would say it when she would get overwhelmed with her blessings. Through the years the phrase has been shortened to "I'm drinking from my saucer!" We thought it was a perfect fit for a blog that documented God's many blessings to us.
