Back from India
I'm back from India and thankful for the experience. It was my first time in India, but I don't think it will be my last. God moved in such a wonderful way. After the first day of the Pastor's conference Dr. Sally and I just looked at each other. After the morning's session which was combined with the men, the women followed us to an upper room where we attempted to minister to them more specifically and strategically. But we felt like we weren't
getting through. But God showed up in a POWERFUL way the second afternoon, and everything changed. By the end of the conference, the women seemed completely transformed by the love and power of God. Even my husband mentioned how transformed the women look when they came down from the upper room that last day. Their smiles could have lit an entire town. I am so thankful for what God did those few days. We arrived home just days before the terrorists attack in Mumbai. Please keep India in your prayers. I truly believe that it is the gateway for God's work 
into the Middle East. Thank you for your prayers.
I didn't receive a picture...but I did receive a word from the Lord that I would like to share with you before I sign off. Here it is...
Surely I have called you and led you by the hand. I have brought you through. You can look ahead and see rolling hills and pleasant land. Know my joy is for you and I am with you in the place of blessing. You are now in the place of reward for your faithfulness. You can look up and see it. I have prepared this for you, and I have stood beside you through times of endurance. I've smiled during those times knowing what they would do for your; knowing what they were storing up for you. I've urged you on when you would have given up, because I would not let you fail. I could not let you stop...I knew what lied ahead for you. Love me more than ever, because you know how deeply and unreservedly I love you. Recognize my hand in this. It is truly a divine moment, a divine appointment. You can accept it knowing I am in it...will be in it with you. Yes, and I'm going to bless and multiply it far beyond what you can see now, or even imagine for that matter. Don't fear. Your work is MY WORK and I will take care of every aspect. Don't worry about failing in this any more than worrying about failing in times of difficulty. I could tell you to worry in nothing, but I've already done that. Today, I want to encourage you to walk towards the season I've prepared for you. It won't be easy. But nothing in this life is. But it will be worth every obstacle you allow me to help you overcome. Recognize my hand in all of this and step forward to receive. I the Lord have spoken this comfort to you and I will do it.

The pictures from India are great. What an awesome work that you and Pastor Chris are doing for missions. I feel like God has appointed me to a position that will one day allow me to serve in missions. I will be working in the area of Vaccines. As you know millions of children and people die of diseases that can be prevented from existing vaccines. I know that I will have an opportunity to use my skill sets to minister and help millions of people worldwide. Praise God for plan that He has for my life. I am so excited to be a part of a ministry that has such a worldwide view of missions. Thanks to you and Pastor Chris for being such awesome leaders!
