-That God would go ahead of us and prepare the hearts of those who are hearing the gospel
-That we would all rely on the Holy Spirit for the words to say in a conversation especially when questions are asked to us
-That God would move with signs and wonders in Ethiopia, but that that wouldn't be the focus of the trip
-That the gospel is the focus of the trip
-That everyone would be healthy and ready with all negative covid tests before we leave.
