Power in Prayer

For those of you who don't know, I am going back to South Africa this summer from May 11th - May 27th. you can read this blog post to hear more about it. I'm like a kid on Christmas Eve. I know, I know, I got the saying wrong! But, I said it how I meant it. See on Christmas eve, it still feels like an eternity lies between a kid and those presents. They still have to get their jammies on, brush their teeth, and maybe their parents will even make them eat breakfast before the get to open their presents!  They've still got a lot of work ahead of them! But, I can promise ya'll, I'll be like a kid on Christmas morning VERY soon!

I've got my fundraising pants on right now with necklaces for sale for $15 (wait! don't go! I'm not going to talk about money for this whole blog!):

I picked out my colors for Tshirts today, and I've started planning another super fun fundraiser that I'll tell you about later because it's a secret :)

I also have this website that you can go to if you want to donate online or hear updates from me. And you can give a tax-deductible donation by writing a check out to "The Bible Church of Little Rock" and writing "Claire Magnus" in the memo [ This is important or the money will just go the the general fund not me specifically]. You can mail them to:

What am I doing besides fundraising to prepare for the trip?

After going to the Cross Conference in Louisville this past winter break, I began to realize that I have a responsibility not just to go on a mission trip in the summer, but to be a part of missions all year long. I can do that by giving out of the little that I have as a college student, but I can also do it by faithfully praying.

Thanks to the conference, I have also been given the desire help reach the unreached. How am I practically doing that? Well, God was gracious to entrust me with the idea of starting a prayer group on campus. On Thursdays during lunch I've invited students to gather in a central place on campus and pray for the unreached.

Did you know that there are 6,000 unreached people groups in the world? That means that there are 6,000 people groups that are 2% or less evangelical Christians. Did you know that 3,000 of those groups are unengaged which means that no one is seeking to plant a church in their people group? It's true! Check out joshuaproject.org to find out more.

Join with us at 12:20 on Thursdays and pray with us from wherever you are that the nations will know that He is God! And if you are a tech student, come to Young at 12:20 on Thursdays! I'll have cards telling you about unreached nations and different scriptures to pray for them.
