I'm writing my first round of "Thank yous" to the donors who have supported my India trip thus far, who quickly brought me above the half-way mark of my goal to cover travel expenses, and I am overwhelmed to tears by the generousity of my friends and family ... Thank You!!
For some reason, my email about the trip has not yet made it to my good friends and colleages at Regent (I think I figured out today it's because of their particularly attentive spam filter, which is likely blocking my message due to its references to sex trafficking), but I trust that God has a purpose for me to go on this trip, and therefore will be faithful to raise the second half the finances needed to get there -- hopefully before the year's end.
In the meantime, I am contemplating this verse:
"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'" Matt. 25:40
How humbling to have an opportunity to fly halfway around the world to serve the "least of these"! Thank you again to all who will help me to get there.
