off to India!


Well this is it - bags are packed - last minutes things are coming together - calls and visits to say goodbye... and in a few hours we'll be heading to the airport after a prayer send off at the Emmanuel Gospel Center.

Im excited! and will be updating this blog when i can - hopefully sharing glimpses of the adventure of india.

thank you for your prayers and support!



remain in the Joy of His grace!

I will leave you with this quote a friend shared with me as i was preparing to go:

“At times we need to know that the Lord is a God of justice. When slumbering giants of injustice emerge in the earth, we need to know that there is a God of power who can cut them down like the grass and leave them withering like the green herb. When our most tireless efforts fail to stop the surging sweep of oppression, we need to know that in this universe is a God whose matchless strength is a fit contrast to the sordid weakness of man. But there are also times when we need to know that God possesses love and mercy. When we are staggered by the chilly winds of adversity and battered by the raging storms of disappointment and when through our folly and sin we stray into some destructive far country and are frustrated because of a strange feeling of homesickness, we need to know there is Someone who loves us, cares for us, understands us, and will give us another chance. When days grow dark and nights grow dreary, we can be thankful that our God combines in His nature a creative synthesis of love and justice which will lead us through life’s dark valley’s and into sunlit pathways of hope and fulfillment.” - MLK Jr.
