India


So I'm heading of to India tomorrow afternoon and will be meeting up with a few friends who left a few days ahead of me.

I love travelling, as many of you would know, and I can't help but think of people who have gone into lands like India before me. India has so much history and diversity in religions and other aspects of life in general. Being a part of The Salvation Army, knowing some of the work that happened in India with the likes of the Booth-Tuckers and just to be able to put everything in context will be exciting. So much to see and experience!

Going to towns and villages where Jesus is either unknown or un-acknowledged will be a challenge, being surrounded by idols, cow's of great worth and ultimately opposition in the spiritual should be a great experience especially in the northern regions.

God created the heavens and the earth and everything in it, so to be blessed to be able to see more of that creation is amazing and won't be taken for granted. Prayer support will be appreciated so that God's work will be done and the Kingdom will be experienced and expanded.
Thanks for everyone who is and already prayed for the three of us who are taking this trip. I'll place some pictures up when I return, especially on Facebook if you want to check them out in around 4 weeks.

Please keep praying for us and for God's will to be done in this season.

"I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars."
Isaiah 45:2
