Second Pastors Conference Starts

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

We made it here with the team to the TWR conference center on the coast of the district of Kanchipuram.
It was great to see all these pastors again, and I was encouraged that they found value in the last conference enough to come back again. Pastor Joel and others tell me all the time how [...]

Facing the pain

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Hi all.
We are just about to leave for the conference and this is the last time we will be online until we return.
I experienced a horrendous amount of chest pain last night.. not my heart, but it turns out my muscles got bound up tightly after the flights and uncomfortable bed. I have not slept [...]

Hi everyone!
I am currently sitting in Andrew’s office, about to write my first post for the blog, so amazing I know. I shall start from the beggining on how I got here. Months and months ago, I wanted to come to india, and my loving family and friends made it possible by helping me [...]

moving ahead despite support to date

Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

Well friends, my partners in India will not be deterred.
Although I have explained to them that our fund rasing has fallen short by 90% at this point, they are telling me that it is too late to cancel not only the crusade ($12k), but also the pastors conference ($20k) because the cancellation letters will not [...]

Godsqueeze

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

This post title is a bit of a joke, and not really accurate, as there are so many times we feel like God Himself is squeezing us through a trial, when all along, it is really just about Him being in charge of things. The scriptures declare in Pr 16:9 that, “The mind of man [...]
