Here’s a picture of us when we had a Missions, Interim and Short-Term (MIST) training. As you can see we are all in multicultural costumes. We took that picture after a exercise on cultural exchange. We only recently just have some idea of our itinerary, because originally we were supposed to do work in Bihar but due to unforseen circumstances we had our programme switched to Kolkata. In any case, now we would be there over Christmas so we have been asked to prepare Christmas songs, and we can expect to act out a skit perhaps, reaching our to children and youths (both studying and working) in church. They have even suggested soccer outreach, which is obviously of great interest to me and Moses! I’m really excited…please pray for us.
Prayer Points:
1. India. For peace after the general election and wisdom for leaders in ruling this nation. Poverty is still a major concern in various parts of North India particularly.
2. Spiritual preparation + protection. As the date draws closer, I am aware of the spiritual warfare that is taking place. Please pray for our walk with God to be fervent and disciplined, and for our hearts to be prepared for the unexpected.
3. Finances. We came to a realisation yesterday that our expenses have exceeded our initial budget, with more to come. We believe that God will provide, and will continue to trust in His perfect timing.
4. Itinerary. We are still awaiting news from the other side of India with regards to our trip’s itinerary. We have been told to be spontaneous and prepared for whatever plans they have organized for us but it would be good to have a rough idea of the projects that we’ll be involved in.
