This is the beginning of something new

hey guys!  thanks for visiting the blog.  this is where all the info about the trip to India will be placed, and hopefully future trips and other things that God has for the future.  just for some general information, if you do not already know, I will be a part of Crossroads Worldwide mission team to India.  We will be in India from December 16-30.  15 awesome days, and yes, Christmas with kids who really understand the meaning of the birth of Christ.  but, for this, I need your help, your prayers, and your words.  I know that God will provide and so I am asking for your generosity.  this is new for me, but I am going to be bold and have faith, not just for me, but for the people to give that this may start a new wave of Godly finances in their lives.  where crazy things are done and crazy rewards and blessings are poured out across the world.  I need your prayers also.  this is my first missions trip, something that I hope God continues to place in front of me, but is very new.  I don't know exactly why I am going, I just know that I have to go!  no choice, no turning back.  pray for my personal walk, because from that overflow will come the fruits of my time in India.  also pray for my nerves and that I not worry for things that God has taken care of already.  this is new and different for me, but I just hope to be transparent with you.  that you may see my needs and share in the greatness of the next few months coming as I step out in faith.  my thanks and thoughts go out to you as well.  may we begin this and grow TOGETHER.
