Prayers from a Traveler's Children

One of the men on our 2nd construction team, Kevin Rutledge, left a wife and two young boys here at home to pray for him while he is gone. His sons, Kamron and Kaleb, have written notes of encouragement and prayers for their dad while he is away. At their request, we share them with you here:

Kamron's Prayer

Dear God please take care of my dad and please help him. Please protect him and the other men. Please help him find a little sister. Watch over the families of the other men. In Jesus name I pray Amen.

Kamron's Message to Dad

Hey Dad, it's Kam. I got the cards and yes I do remember when you buried me in the sand at the beach. I miss you like crazy too and I love you like crazy too. You’re the best Dad in the world. I'm being helpful to Mom and I do hope you find a baby sister for me. I wish you luck on the trip. Is your team building a school on this trip?
I love you this much 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 x over the moon.


Kaleb's Prayer

Lord I know I have it a 1,000,000 times better than them. Please let them enjoy the gifts my dad brought. I know they will looooooooove the nerf football.
In God's name I pray, amen.


Kaleb's Message to Dad

Hi. Hope your having a great time. It's good here.I miss you SOOOOOOO much why did it have be 2 Hole Weeks. I had a lot of fun at the beach and woodland alters thanks for the cards I kinda miss you saying PUT IT ON MY TAB every 3 seconds. Litterly hurry back. I LOVE YOU SOO much. Don't forget put it on my tab


As you continue to pray for the men traveling on the construction team, we also covet your prayers for their families. We ask that they would sense God's peace while their loved ones are away and we ask that God would protect them and keep their hearts united until they are reunited.
