Leaving for India!

As Davidene and I  leave for  India today, here are some verses that you can pray for us over the journey.

These three verses represent my “life verses” that God has given me over the last 50 years.

Philippians 3:10  “ That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection.”  PRAY that as we face the challenges of the trip that we will know Him even more intimately.  ALL effective ministry flows out of the overflow (John 15) of our relationship with Him.  Pray that we will be speaking out of experience and not from just  theory.

Philemon 1:7  “Because the Hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you.”  Pray that we will be a huge encouragement to these pastors and business leaders.  We will be sharing some principles that require a CHANGE in thinking and practice.  So, we want to present biblical truth and the methods of Jesus, but at the same time not overwhelm them or discourage them in the difficult tasks ahead of equipping other leaders.

Colossians 1:28  “So naturally we proclaim Christ.”  Pray that we will lift up Christ alone.  We do not want to share our opinions, our plans, or just our experiences.  We want to give them the refreshing truths that Jesus Christ lived out here on the earth and wants us to walk in naturally  each day as we seek to lead others.

Thanks for holding us up in prayer.  Our classes start Monday in Bangalore, which is Sunday your time.
