An Invitation to Pray and Give

Over the past four years Carlene and I have been privileged to meet church planters and leaders from India. (Pictured is Pastor Saumuel Chacko in his first visit to USA in Seattle this Janurary) These men and women of God have several things in common:

They Are Wonder Workers... most are serving in very difficult circumstances but with power and authority to heal the sick and raise the dead. Many have built schools and orphanages, while carrying for the poor, and training up and releasing the next generation of leaders.

They Are Humble... I have yet to meet a significant leader who does not exhibit a spirit of humble gratefulness in what God is doing. They serve in obscurity.

All have urged us to come and minister to them and their leaders.

As you might imagine, when I hear their stories of radical faith and tens of thousands baptized, I am tempted to reply... "No, you must teach and impart what you have learned to us, the western church."

Yet, we sense this is the time for a trip to India. This April 3-21, Pacificministries is joining with Kingdom Wings, led by Linda Baker-Kaahanui (Rolland and Heidi Baker's sister) from Port Townsend. Linda has ministered to women in India for the past several years and I've been invited to speak to the men in two conferences in the northeastern city of Selagari as well as with Rodrick Gilbert in Dehli.

Each one of these Kingdom Warrior/Servants have prayed for and witnessed the dead raised to life! (with documentation)

I am specifically asking you to pray and give.

Pray:

Grace and wisdom in preparing for Ministry and teaching materials.
Health and travel safety for the team.

Give:

We need to raise nearly $20,000 as we sponsor travel, meals, translation, and all other expenses for each attendee. Many are traveling many miles and have very limited resources. We want to give generously.

This is an ambitious project, but I am unashamedly asking you to financially invest in this mission trip and project.

You can do this in two ways:
