Please Pray

We have two prayer requests; the first being the most urgent...

Chelsea threw out her back earlier today and is in some pain. Please pray that the Lord heals her and allows her to sleep tonight. We have a full day tomorrow with a lot that the Lord has laid on our hearts. I don't want to have to do it alone, and she doesn't want to be stuck on a bed in pain for much longer.
Like I said, the Lord has laid many things on our hearts for us to be warring spiritually, for us to be speaking, for us to be acting upon. We want to be faithful servants. Please pray that the Spirit would give us strength to draw closer to the heart of our Lord; from that place shall come all that He intends for us to do. Tomorrow, in particular, is a new day, full of specific opportunities to speak what He calls us to speak. Please pray that we may proclaim the whole gospel clearly and fearlessly as we should.

Thanks everyone!!

Why India?

Bethany: I have dedicated my heart and life to the Lord for spreading the Gospel. Whether in another country or home, through finances, time, or prayer, this is my greatest desire. I grew up reading missionary biographies and Christian literature and theology. Back in 2001 my dad, along with the pastor of my church at the time, took a month long trip to New Delhi, India to work with an orphanage. A special love for the people of India grew in my heart. For the past nine years the desire to work among the women and orphans of India and to support believers there has continued to increase.

Chelsea: I’ve heard missionary’s stories all my life. I first remember thinking I would like to be a missionary when I was about 13. Shortly after that, India caught my attention as a place in desperate need of workers, particularly among the women. I’ve thought and planned toward going to India for about seven years now. Now that I’m done with my bachelor’s degree, there is a natural break and I’m very excited to finally fulfill the childhood dream of being a missionary in India.
