I’m going to India this summer! I’m traveling with a group of women from two
Wichita churches: Pathway Church (my
home church) and Central Christian Church.
We’ll be ministering with women in south-central India at a conference
sponsored by India Gospel League (IGL).
These are the five who will be going from Wichita:
·
Flying into Bangalore;
·
Visiting IGL headquarters in Salem where we’ll
work with women whose lives have been changed through microloans;
·
Traveling to Vijayawada and Akividu to lead a
women’s conference;
·
Attending a Life Center (a community outreach
center built by IGL) dedication in Akividu, a rural area adopted by Pathway for
Christian development.
Holly, Candice, Julie and I spent some time praying over our detailed schedule last night.
(Steph was at a conference, but we know she was with us in Spirit.)
We’ll be traveling to large metropolitan
areas as well as small towns and villages.
I’m excited about the opportunity to see a cross-section of this
beautiful country and participate in many activities geared toward women.
Many of you have asked how you can partner with me on this adventure. I've already received an overwhelming response to support requests I mailed to a few of you. I'm about 2/3 of the way to being fully funded. (Update: As of 4pm today, I'm FULLY FUNDED! I know! God is so faithful! If you'd still like to contribute, my fellow travelers can use your help. Thanks so much!)
I humbly ask for the following:
I humbly ask for the following:
·
Please pray for me as I embark on this
God-directed adventure. I don’t enjoy
flying and it takes a lot of it to get to India! Pray I’ll be able to rest on the flight and
arrive in India ready to go.
·
Pray for Brian and our kids as they remain home.
·
Pray our team will reach its financial goals and
everyone will have their trip monies on time.
·
Consider giving a financial gift toward my
trip. Instructions to do so are included
at the end of this blog.
I’m thrilled to be a part of this trip. God has given me a heart to teach and
minister to women; the chance to do this in India is simply breath-taking!
Thanks for your prayer and support. If you have any questions or need more
information, please contact me via the comments on this blog, on Facebook, or on Twitter.
Thanks so much!
