Indian-Nepal Mission Summer 2013

Greetings friends and family!

I pray the Lord’s blessing upon you.

Missions begins and ends with worship. By God’s great mercy let us practice our spiritual act of WORSHIP by offering our bodies as a LIVING SACRIFICE, holy and pleasing to God…Let us DIE to our own wants, needs, desires…let us lay down our lives so every nation, tribe and tongue will see how GREAT our God is! In Genesis 22 Abraham sacrifices his beloved son, Isaac. In verse 5 he tells his young men, Stay here with the donkey; I and the boy will go over there and WORSHIP...in other words, Abraham is saying, stay here while I go sacrifice my son, whom I love. WORSHIP in all its fullness is sacrifice! Let us follow Abraham's example and lay down our Isaac. Let us follow Jesus who said, "If anyone would follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross and come after me." MISSIONS begins with SACRIFICE...Missions ends with SACRIFICE. Are you willing to worship? Are you willing to sacrifice?

As many of you know, I have been to Nepal twice in the past year to further the Kingdom work. We have since been able to financially support a few children homes through selling Nepali gloves, hats and purses at local coffee shops (For more information about the children’s homes see our website: http://lighthouses4children.wix.com/light ). It is our mission to be directly involved in reaching the most un-evangelized people groups through prayer support, financial support and short-term missions.

As I still have one year left of seminary, I believe the Lord is leading me to spend another summer (2 ½ months) among the least reached peoples of India and Nepal.

My roommate, Spencer and I will spend a few weeks working among the poor in Varanasi and Kolkata, India. Varanasi is the spiritual capitol of India, often referred to as the “city of temples”. We pray the Lord will use us to SHINE the LIGHT of Christ in this very dark place. We will bus up to Kathmandu and connect with a few children homes. We will trek with a small team of Nepali pastors through the Himalayas sharing the Gospel in many villages.

 
God is doing a mighty work among the people of India and Nepal. I ask for your prayer for Spencer and I as we share the Gospel. Pray for open eyes and open hearts.  Romans 10:10 says it is with the HEART that one believes.

Pray for all the HEARTS we will encounter.

I will be sending out more informational updates and prayer requests.
