Mission Reports

In India we shared 36 times with over 10,000 people. Tons of lost people heard the Gospel. Many of these were in the schools. Of course, in the schools we weren’t allowed to give an invitation but we explained very clearly how to receive Christ. I don’t know how many decisions we had as the … Read more

YouTube Video Outreach & More Before we left for India we designed a card that we could distribute in all the schools where kids are taught English. We printed 10,000 of these cards because we wanted to use them as a way where English-speaking students could continue to hear the Gospel beyond  just one school … Read more

We left Chennai by train around 7pm. Our compartment had four beds because we wouldn’t arrive back in Hyderabad until 6:30am the next morning. It was a great experience and a much more comfortable ride than I had expected. The only issue was that the beds were plastic leather and as you slept your skin … Read more

One of the greatest compliments that I had during our trip was a young man in his twenties who told me, “My heart was burning inside me while you spoke.” Above is a picture from our last meeting. It was in a small church building in a slum village but what you can’t see is … Read more

We shared at a university while in Chennai, India. Although the president of the school is Hindu, she gave us permission to share our belief in Christ. The students and faculty listened intently as I shared. Afterwards I was told that all of the professors had attended and more students than they had expected. I … Read more

Pastor Ebenezer (seen in the far left of the above picture) was our translator in Chennai. His family is involved in multiple ministries in the area. His dad leads worship at his church. His sister and her husband minister through several of the schools and in another church. His other sister married the pastor of a … Read more

In the schools the Lord helped us to carefully walk a very fine line as we shared Jesus in front of thousands of students. Many of these students are Hindu or Muslim. We shared God’s plan to save us from our sin and how Jesus is the only way to have life and to be … Read more

“She looks like a doll,” was the response we were given when we asked why so many people took such an interest in Ezri. They wanted pictures with her and when she acknowledged them their faces would light up as if something great had just happened. The picture above is a family what was walking … Read more

God many times protects us in spite of our own ignorance. While we were walking on the beach at the Bay of Bengal, we found shells. Some of these were small clams but some were small cone shells. Most of these were empty but we found a few that still had a creature inside. Titus … Read more

After Guntur City, we left at 6am on Monday for a 7 hour train ride to Chennai. You can’t buy a seat for children age  5 and under, so Ezri sat on our lap the entire time. It was tight in the train. We didn’t have a translator once we left the station and we … Read more

On Sunday morning in Guntur City, I shared at a church that has an incredible ministry. There were about 200 people in the worship service. At the end of the message, I shared with them that “you are not alone.” Not only is Jesus with you but there are believers around the world who are … Read more

One of my favorite experiences in Hyderabad was training church leaders who are working with children. There were about 25 people who attended our training conference. Among them are two brothers who are teaching “Sunday school” at their church. Their mother had been a witch and involved in black magic before she came to Christ. … Read more

On Saturday we drove about 40km outside of Guntur City for a children’s retreat. Many of the children were from the “slum colony” where the retreat was held. If you look in the background of these pictures, you’ll see huts made from wood, cardboard, scraps and nature. A few churches came from nearby areas bringing … Read more

After sharing 21 times in and around Hyderabad, we drove 5 hours to Guntur City. We arrived around midnight and checked into our hotel. Our two days in Guntur City was fast-paced without a lot of rest. Although we shared only 5 times, one of the events we led was a children’s retreat in a … Read more
