India Mission Team 1921

Our next mission team headed to India is ready to go and serve! Join me as we send them and cover them in our prayers while they travel and serve God and His people in Dasuya, India. We will include a picture soon, but you can still pray for the team members by name: Kelly Bone (team leader), Melinda Cummins, Clay Donnell, Sandy Gulick, Gaylen McDonald, Traci Rahe, Ray Riggs, Mark Scmittling, and Patricia Vani.

God has called each one of them for a specific purpose on this mission team. I know that Pastor Daniel, Everlasting Life Church, and the Dasuya community will be blessed by this team and I pray that God works mightily through them and the members of the local church that will be serving with them.

I remember a song written by a son of St. Matthew (Gary Scharrer) and sung during his "sending" service into pastoral ministry. The lyrics were, "You have been gloves on the hands of our Savior. You touched our lives in just the ways He planned." These 9 missionaries to India are gloves on Jesus' hands. He will be working through each of them as they distribute eyeglasses to people ... some of these people may have never seen clearly in their whole lives. Many of these people have never seen love like they will experience in just a few days. We pray that God softens the hearts of these people so they are receptive to God's message of love and hope that they will hear while waiting for their new glasses.

The team leaves in 24 hours. We pray for their preparations and their journey!
