A Blog About…

Well, my time in India is coming to a close. I have two weeks left, one of which I’m spending in Nepal as a time of reflection and meditation for this trip. I’m leaving today and over the next week I hope to write a lot to process what I’ve experienced here and so I’ll remember what I’ve seen and experienced on this trip. I’m not ready to leave. The reality is, though, that I could spend the next ten years here and still not be ready to leave. There’s so much work to do, so many problems to fix, so many broken people to make whole. I have to remember that God is the one that does this and just because I leave doesn’t mean that his work for me to do is done. This next week I’m also going to be praying about what my ministry is going to be when I return home.

Some things you can be praying for me are:

–That I will have the strength to finish out my work in India.

–That my time of reflection and meditation in Nepal will be fruitful.

–That I’ll feel God’s calling to my ministry when I return home.

Also, please pray for India:

–For the myriad of social injustices, just a few of which I’ve talked about here in this blog.

–For Lichu Bagan orphanage: That the money would come for the children to continue in school and grow up healthy. For David, the director, to remain wise and strong in his faith. And that the children would grow up to be mighty warriors of Jesus.

–For the Missionaries of Charity Sisters and the many ministries that they’re running in Kolkata  and across the world.
