Thoughts on the Muslim Call to Prayer

This video was taken from Golconda Fort over an area of the city with a high Muslim population. This is the sound of hopeless devotion. It is the sound of men and women devoting their entire lives to worship. Don’t get me wrong, I love to worship. I have always found worship to be extremely fulfilling. It started as a love for music, but quickly branched into a love for the Lord that reaches beyond music. And that’s just it. It really comes down to an expression of love. But who are you worshipping? Who do you love? God has been showing me that there are many way to worship him....

Golconda Fort: The Walls That Broke Mine Down

Last week was absolutely wild. And so, so good. On Friday afternoon, several of my teammates and I took Ubers all the way across Hyderabad to explore Golconda Fort (peep my last photo upload for visuals).  It was our off day and it was Jordy’s birthday.  There was a lot of sun and a lot of adventure to be had.  Honestly, ministry was not the first thought in my mind. During our half-hour drive across town, the change in neighborhood struck me.  Where we live, it is fairly affluent and tranquil.  There are even a few Christians.  Where we drove, people and...

Something Wild

While in India if I ever have a desire to have decent WiFi I need to go to my new favorite coffee shop called Delize. I have come so often with my team that they now easily recognize us and smile. It’s in moments like these where I wish that I spoke more Telegu(the common language). For the most part I am able to converse with their broken English, or my even more appalling grumble of syllables I would like to call Telegu. Though there does come moments when I wish I could simply understand, or have more time than one month to come to an equal understanding. Well I am getting off subject,...

God’s miracle right in front of me

So yes it is true I have failed pretty miserably when it comes top updating my blog or any of my social media platforms. I wish I could say that I had an amazing reason why I have been absent but alas I do not. As I have finally settled into this new style of living I can say that each week there will be a new blog post updating you all lovely people on my misadventures across the ocean. It took awhile to get fully adjusted but I feel like I am home in the city that I am staying with and surrounded by family with the ones that I am living with. After a slightly rocky start I have come to some...
