India Trip

In just over 24 hours, Carlene and I will begin a 31-hour journey by air and Jeep to New Delhi and Lucknow (Northern India not far from Nepal) arriving on what we believe is a pivotal assignment. We will join Rodrick Gilbert, a friend who has invited 15 men and women from Europe, Indonesia, and America to encourage 500 leaders. They represent nearly 1.8 million people in 15,000 house churches.

We have hosted Rodrick in our home and in several meetings over the past six years, and we believe Holy Spirit is net-working leaders all over the world for the purpose of encouragement in the spirit of humility. Rodrick simply follows Luke 10 where Jesus simply releases disciples to discover a man or woman of peace where He can work miracles. He has seen Light overcoming darkness especially in northern India where 85% of the population are Hindu or Muslims. These villages are being transformed. We are representing the Northwest and will share our life story, especially what we are learning about intimacy, worship and Kingdom relationships.

I'm inviting you to pray:

Whenever we speak, words would be given to us so that we will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. (Paraphrased from Ephesians 6:19) Effortless travel connections Physical health and safety in travel and food Spiritual insight and divine wisdom and revelation in all that we do and say Deepening relationships with kingdom leaders Protection for family and friends at home Financial provision (We are grateful for those who have contributed to this trip)
