Update: Rob, Elias and Addison are on their way to Mexico as we speak! There are 20 members on the team, mostly young men. They will arrive in Baja and begin building a home for a mom and her two children.  The weather has been over 100 degrees! Thank you so much for supporting our trip! Please pray for much fruit, divine appointments and for the power of the Holy Spirit to be with them. Here are prayer points as the team is launched:

Some prayer points this week for consideration: 

1. Pre-Departure: Spiritual & Practical Preparation

Unity of Heart

Pray that the Lord would knit our team together in one spirit and purpose (Philippians 2:2 NKJV).

Wisdom & Discernment

Ask God for wisdom in all planning decisions—schedules, materials, cultural prep—so you “may approve the things that are excellent” (Philippians 1:10 NKJV).

Provision of Resources

Pray that every tool, material, and financial need would be supplied according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 NKJV).

Spiritual Covering

Bind any schemes of the enemy to discourage or divide the mission trip, and put on the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:11–12 NKJV).

2. Travel & Safety

Safe Passage

Lift up every flight, border crossing, and road trip, trusting God “who watches over your going out and your coming in” (Psalm 121:8 NKJV).

Health & Strength

Pray for physical endurance, protection from illness, and fresh strength each morning (Isaiah 40:31 NKJV).

Open Eyes & Ears

Ask for spiritual sensitivity to see where God is already at work and hear His voice about unexpected opportunities (Revelation 3:22 NKJV).

3. Building the Home

Skill & Excellence

Pray that each hammer blow, cut of wood, and measure would be guided by the Lord—“whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord” (Colossians 3:23 NKJV).

Team Harmony

Ask God to cultivate patience, encouragement, and laughter among you, even under hot sun or long hours (1 Peter 4:8 NKJV).

Blessing on the Family

Pray God’s protection, joy, and provision over the family you’re serving—“the very God of peace… may He equip you” (Philippians 4:9 NKJV).

Spiritual Breakthrough

Pray that this tangible act of love would soften hearts, break generational strongholds, and usher in gospel conversations (2 Corinthians 1:11 NKJV).

4. At the YWAM DTS Base 2nd week. This is a special opportunity as missionary families from all over the world will be on the base and we will be able to love on and encourage them while we are there. We also know great encouragement will come from them! 

Servant Hearts

Ask Jesus to shape you into humble servants, following His example “that whoever serves may do so with the strength which God supplies” (1 Peter 4:11 NKJV).

Compassion & Discernment

Pray for sensitivity to each family’s story—hurts, hopes, needs—and for words that heal and encourage (Proverbs 16:24 NKJV).

Spiritual Impartation

Lift up the DTS students and staff, that God would empower them for greater vision, boldness, and fruit in their own callings (2 Timothy 1:6–7 NKJV).

Endurance in Service

Pray Galatians 6:9 over the week: “Let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart” (NKJV).

5. Ongoing & Post-Trip Fruit

Lasting Relationships

Pray that the bonds formed would deepen into partnerships—prayer, support, even return visits—and that both sides would continue to grow in Christ (Philippians 1:5 NKJV).

Safe Return & Reflection

Thank God for a safe journey home, and pray for open hearts to process what He taught you on the trip (Psalm 107:2 NKJV).

Multiplication of Impact

Ask the Lord to use our stories and lessons to ignite passion for missions in our home church (Matthew 9:37–38 NKJV).

Thank you so much for all of your support! And thank you to those who will pray! We are believing God for miracles, for salvations, and for divine appointments.  

We can't wait to share all of the stories of what the LORD has done! We are expecting big fruit!

Lots and lots of love from all of the Kellys!!!
