Shalom!
Nashville, TN is currently home to 91 people groups! 30 of those people are less than 2% engaged with Christianity, making their people groups categorized as "unreached". During the mission trip I will be joining in October, our goal will be reaching the 5 most prominent unreached groups- Kurds, Somalis, South East Asians, Vietnamese, and Egyptians. Together these 5 groups equal approximately 50,000 people. Of those 50,000 people it is estimated that only 50 of them know Christ as their Lord and Savior.
Listed below is one of the prayer lists from e3 with specific prayer requests for this mission trip. There are many more prayer requests, new scenarios and needs being brought to our attention each week! Although I still need some financial support, prayer support is essential and very important to me! If you feel God calling you to commit to praying for this mission trip, please let me know (you can email me at sara_hendry94@yahoo.com). I will add your name and email address to the list with others committed to pray. You will receive emails (approximately 1 a week) between now and October 13th, 2013. During the weeks of October 13-18 you will receive more frequent emails to update you on our mission endeavors and to share immediate prayer requests.
*"Heart hosts" are people who live in Nashville, that will commit to working with us during the week that we are there, then follow up with the people we reach after our group leaves the city.
Blessings to you!

- Pray for this "movement of God" to continue in a mighty, unprecedented way! May He draw to Himself in Christ (John 6:44) 1000's of the unreached of Nashville Metro

Ask God to protect he and his family, both physical and spiritual, as they stand in the gap for the thousands of unreached peoples who have fled their countries to receive asylum and refuge in Nashville USA
- Pray for laborers to be sent into the harvest fields (Matt.10) and for laborers out of the harvest! "And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." - Luke 10:2
