Friends around the corner

As many of you already know, the next trip to India is just about upon me and I am counting down the days for my departure.

I want to start our by welcoming all the new subscribers to this blog. Some have added themselves, and many I just added myself after going through a long history of friends I have emailed in the last two years. It took a while to go through, but I felt it was important to take a thorough look at all friends I have been in contact since we started out on our Indian journey. It is amazing how many people we all touch and it is more work than ever in our busy lives to maintain all the connections we would like to keep. I feel very strongly at this time to do just that, as this particular crusade preparation has had such a different affect on me. I have reflected deeply on all the people who have supported our dream for India, as well as those who have encouraged my development as friends and mentors. I for one never like to see a bridge be lost.

With all that being said, I hope you all opt to stick with the subscription. If it was just for my vanity, I wouldn’t blame you for opting out, as we all have just too much mail to deal with every day. But the good news is that this site is not about me, but about the pursuit of a calling to reach India for Christ. A calling you share with me, because of our relationship. I not only want to keep you in the loop, but I hope each and every one of you, my friends, will discover the value of keeping a strong interest in what has been going on for us in our now yearly ministry visits. CGI Ministries is growing and this year we are dong our first pastors conference! Well, all the details are there on the site to get caught up on. :-)

I need your comments and encouragement now more than ever. The opportunity has eclipsed my expectations and is challenging me way beyond my capacity. Me speaking to 800 leaders is huge. Another 3 day crusade is huge. Although my partners in India have great confidence in me for this, there has been a lot of pressure and distraction to fight off as departure day approaches. Apart from a direct calling and unfolding vision, I am counting on your prayers and support to encourage me at this time.

Some of you I hope can afford to help financially as well. We need another $15k in 2 weeks to allow us to house and bless the additional attendees that have surprisingly come forward to register. if you want to know more about that, please reply or comment here, and I will send you more info.

God bless you all. I will be blogging here with updates, and only selectively sending these posts to your emals.

thanks.
