The Countdown Begins
Today is July 1st. That means Abigail and I are entering the fundraising deadline countdown phase. As of today we have 62 days of fundraising left to raise $4,749.
We need to raise about $76 a day for the next two months in order to go to India this October. Can you HelpSend.Us? Donate now.
The goals of our trip to India include: 1.) Encouraging the local ministries already at work. As mentioned in our last post, Fuel International has a group of locally based missionaries running a newly opened children’s home in India and have ministry goals including church planting, village ministry and pastoral care. Beyond working with them for a few days we will be planning out the details for many of these ministry goals and setting up future projects.
2.) Experiencing the culture of India. Part of effective ministry is understanding culture. India has a very deep, complex and vibrant culture.
3.) Impact. Don’t think that our trip is too short to make an impact on the people of India. While we are there we will be encouraging, teaching and learning from our contacts. Not only will we be able to share our knowledge of ministry, but I am hoping that we learn. God can teach in many ways and I hope to learn from our friends in India things I would have never learned on my own.
Please pray for us as we fundraise and continue to plan out the details of the trip. Remember, we need to raise about $76 a day for the next two months in order to go to India this October. Will you HelpSend.Us by donating today?
