Last night one of our missionaries, P. V. Joseph, spoke at Evangel. He is a church-planter and educator in India. He invited me to speak to the graduation at his Bible School. There will be over a thousand people at the graduation. There will be an opportunity to train national pastors. I also have an invitation to visit Bangladesh and minister there. I’m thinking about running a marathon to raise a little air fare and taking one of my children with me to each of these places so our hearts will be enlarged for the world. When I get the details worked out I will probably ask each of you to donate a dollar for every mile I run. So save your money because, if I finish the marathon, I will hit you up for $26.20 each.
so……….for $13.10 I guess it’s a one way ticket????
Several years ago my father-in-law, a pastor, went on a missions trip to India with a doctor from his church. During the day, Dad helped the doctor heal bodies, and in the evenings the doctor helped Dad heal souls. He came home saying that India gets into your heart. A year later Dad returned to pick up two little girls from an orphanage there, who are now my husband’s youngest sisters. Just this February, Dad went back, taking the eldest of those two girls (now 14) with him. They worked in the orphanage that she had lived in until she was 7. Something about India gets into your heart. :o)
