Hey there everyone!!!
Well I suppose its about time I wrote on this blog, the last one of the group. India has been an amazing experience. The last couple weeks have been really good. Last week we were in Goa which is a city about 12 hours south of Mumbai by train. Its known to be the kind of vacation spot of India. Right on the coast of the Indian ocean. We spent the week on the beach and it was a great time of rest and refocus as we prepare for our final month of ministry in India. Mark met us down there and it has been very nice seeing him again. Hearing some of his wisdom as he has been leading the team in devotions has been really refreshing. We spent a lot of time in good fellowship around the dinner table. This last week has been great, full of a lot of personal evangelism. We have kind of switched focus from program ministry to one on one ministry. Yesterday Jake and I went for a walk and ended up playing Cricket with a bunch of kids. It was so much fun trying to combine our baseball skills with how they play cricket. It was almost like a “sandlot” type experience seeing all these kids come from every direction to play cricket together. It was really cool seeing how they all had there local rules and everything. Its been amazing seeing how God provides ways for all the team members to meet new people. Its easy to see how God is working in India and in the lives of the young people here. Today we had a very good team church with Mark giving a message from Isaiah 41. He talked about how we have nothing to fear because of how big our God is that we serve. He holds us up with his righteous right hand and walks beside us and helps us. It was good for everyone on team to hear those words as we work on making new disciples in this last month. God has been stretching everyone on team and it has been easy to see everyone growing in boldness and confidence in sharing their faith. Some Prayer Requests: Pray that everyone would stay focus as we start to think about what God has planned for all of us next year. Pray that we would be strengthened with God power as we share with people in this last month. Pray that we would be Unified as a team and join together with God’s joy as we see God work through one another.

May God go before you as you serve him where you are!

ReplyDeleteHi Alex and Team, It is so wonderful to hear how God is working in so many hearts in Mumbai. We will continue to pray for them and you guys as God wraps up your last month and as he is working also in your lives. We will also be praying about what God has planned for you next. Only he know's. Just like when your plan was to go to Peru and God said No" India". It will change like that. But when you look at where you are and the lives you touched can you imagine yourself anywhere else. His plan is perfect when we follow. As you all are doing and I can't even express how proud I'am of all of You. Your my Hero's. Love to all. Nancy ( Alex's Mom)
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you all for your love and prayers to Alex and our family at the passing of my Mom/ Alex's Gram.
