Prayer is an absolutely critical ingredient of the Pilgrimage for Reconciliation. Without inviting and waiting on God's participation in this pilgrimage, there will be no Shalom.

4. Safe Travel.
5. Discernment for those God may be calling to return to the Balkans to make a long term investment toward the Shalom of this region.
Late July
1. Team Unity
2. Physical healing from sickness. Many are sick with colds and soar throats. Health for the children. 1-1/2 year old Marky has an ear infection and is taking anti-biotics that Tom and Maureen aren't familiar with.
3. Safety in travel.
4. Space in our hearts to continue to take in what God has for us.
5. Humility.
6. The next three days of training in Pag. We started the training this morning and it's been awesome so far. Pray that the Lord would continue to pour into our team in a way that they can receive and bring back home in a few weeks.
Mid July
It's been going really well and at the same time, we're still encountering some spiritual warfare. The main things to pray for in our group are:
1. that Jesus would break and cast out "critical spirit" in our group. we had an honest "family time" two nights ago where key people confessed that they've been struggling with arrogance, pride and critical spirit. now it's just a matter of jesus defeating these things in our group. otherwise, it's been so incredible.
