India Bound!

I am on my way to India with Oasis Ministries based in Minnesota. It is my first trip to this nation of a billion people. It will be an exciting time for me as I participate in the ministry which will include dedication of wells and churches, evangelistic services and a pastors conference. There will be thousands of people coming to the services and I am believing God for many souls to be saved. India was the country William Carey, the father of modern day missions, had a burden for and spent many years of his life bringing the gospel to this nation. His life story is an inspiration as he went through tremendous adversity and many setbacks as he fulfilled God's call on his life. His statement: "Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God" has impacted many lives into service for the Lord. Please pray that God will greatly use each member of our team and that he will show up in power as we proclaim His word to a nation that is held in bondage to the many religions that are in this nation. Pray for our safety, health and unity. There is great persecution in India as the enemy does not want people to be set free. Radical Hindus are killing believers, destroying their homes and churches and seem to have little resistance from the government. Pray that the enemy will be defeated and that Christ will be exalted!
