Some of you may not be fully aware of what all this India talk is about, or what I am really desiring to do at this point. So what am I doing exactly? Well, glad you asked! 
I am answering the unshakeable urge and leading of the Lord to minister to the people of India that have left an eternal mark on my heart. Some of you have been very closely connected to me through this time I’ve been traveling back and forth to India for years now, so this may be nothing new to you, or as some have said “I’m not surprised at all.” Now, the opportunity has been given to me to finally go again and stay a little longer, and I just can’t pass this up! I will be teaching in the Bible College, helping host teams, helping home school, administrative work, and anything else needed. However, my main object is to teach in the Bible College. I will teach Biblical classes as well as English.
I am planning to stay for one year. Due to visa regulations I will stay for 6 months, leave the country for 2 months, and go back for 6 months. The Lord has opened doors for me and I am believing Him to fulfill and follow through. No words can express the feeling of finally settling in, just a little bit longer…just a little bit more permanently, to a family/people half way around the world and FINALLY don’t have to say goodbye AGAIN, after only 2 weeks or 2 months. There seems to be a different expression in their eyes when they learn you are there…committed to stay and invest more this time. They can let out the sigh of relief because you’re not going anywhere this time when that 1 month mark rolls around. It’s just as much of a sigh of relief to me as it is to them.
My heart is yearning to be back with these people. I also find my heart going through somewhat of a roller coaster ride as well. I am looking forward to that day of return, but find myself burdened by the process to get there. One day my heart is at absolute rest in the finished work of Christ and all He is as my PROVIDER, and the next day the enemy creeps in with fear and doubt to reside in my heart. Would you pray for me in this process to enable me to return to India? Would you pray God continues to surround me with peace by reminding me of His ever-present help in this time of need? Would you considering giving? Not to me so much, but to the KINGDOM OF GOD. Would you allow your finances to go where your literal body can’t right now? I will go if you will send!
- You can sponsor me monthly (this is tax-deductible) – $25, $50, $100, $200 a month. I am still in need of $450 a month. $200 has already been committed.
- You can give a one time tax-deductible donation – I’ll gladly accept any amount! Every bit helps!
All of this may seem absolutely crazy and illogical to you. To others this may seem like an incredible adventure. While others may take this as something absolutely terrifying because you no longer have control of the outcome. All of those are true. There is nothing logical about this journey I’ve begun, and yes it does seem crazy at times! If I could figure all of this out with my trivial logic, there’s no way it could be God! And of course it’s going to be an incredible adventure! Adventures involve challenges, scary moments, and times with no bumps in the road…I’m sure this journey will have all of those and more. Of course there are moments I’m terrified or don’t understand…but even then I will CHOOSE GOD! There’s no one like Him, there’s no one beside Him…I will make the choice to listen and obey. Will you?
