WE’RE IN INDIA!!!!
Hey Friends and Family!
I hope you are as excited as we are to see and partner with all that God is doing here in the North East part of India! We arrived safe and sound after 3 days of travel through Germany, Delhi, and a couple small Indian airports to Sielmat, India to work with Bibles for the World.
We were so warmly received and so well taken care of as we have been getting oriented to the area, ministry, and what life will look like while we are here.
Our team is truly blessed!
We have renamed our team be “1dentity”! Names are a powerful thing and should speak for what one stands for. So while we stand for India and it’s salvation we also stand our identity as One Body in Christ Jesus.
As I’ve prayed for this team God has spoken that this team will step off the boat.
“As soon as the meal was finished, he insisted that the disciples get in the boat and go on ahead to the other side while he dismissed the people. With the crowd dispersed, he climbed the mountain so he could be by himself and pray. He stayed there alone, late into the night.
Meanwhile, the boat was far out to sea when the wind came up against them and they were battered by the waves. At about four o’clock in the morning, Jesus came toward them walking on the water. They were scared out of their wits. “A ghost!” they said, crying out in terror.
But Jesus was quick to comfort them. “Courage, it’s me. Don’t be afraid.” Peter, suddenly bold, said, “Master, if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come ahead.” Jumping out of the boat, Peter walked on the water to Jesus.”
Matthew 14:22-29 MSG
In a session during training camp, our speaker, Deon, pointed out that Peter was the only one bold enough to step out of the boat into the water. “11 of the 12 missed the opportunity to walk on water with Jesus”. 11 of the 12 missed to opportunity to partner with Jesus in an amazing miracle! I declare that this team will not miss this opportunity.
Meggie, Nathaniel, Ashley, Becca, Courtney, Gabriel, Tavish, & Natalie have already started and will continue to do amazing things partnering with the Holy Spirit for the glory of our Father!
