India Countdown

We are officially four weeks away from our India mission to Delhi! I am so humbled and grateful for each persons generous giving towards this mission. I know that any dollar amount "small" or "large" is a sacrifice. My prayer is that God would richly use this team to bring hope to the person who is hopeless, comfort to the person who is hurting, and the love of Christ to each person we meet along the way. Thank you so much also for your prayers leading into this mission. We will not be effective with out your prayers being lifted up as we prepare to go and while we are serving in India.

God has a great plan for the lives of each person on our time, as well as the preordained meetings we will have with the people of India. I look forward to learning more about the culture of India, being exposed to God's heart for the people in this country, and serving & learning from each person we meet. I feel strongly that God wants me to go with my mind set on being willing to learn and grow as a person and in my faith. It is easy for me to think I am being called to "bring" the Good News, but God reminds me daily that His truth is every where. I'm not bringing the Good News, I am helping to reveal what is already there. Jesus is in India. He has long been fighting the battle for the people in this country, to reveal to each person the hope of His salvation. The book of Romans tells us, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes... since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.  For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen (by man), being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Thank you Lord for being so near to us, and desiring nothing more than to reveal Yourself to all creation!
