Going to India!

Welp, we finally got the flight plans nailed down for out two week mission trip to India. We’re leaving December 27th & will be back January 8th. There’s about 8 or 9 of us going total (I think). We’ve got 3 training  dates set up for us to get together & prepare for the trip. This is going to be crazy. I can’t wait!

I still don’t think the reality of potentially moving to India has really hit me yet. I’m excited at the possibility, but I haven’t felt any fear about it… Should I be afraid? Or is it a sign that I’m ready to follow where I’m being lead? Or am I just in denial? Who knows. It’s all happened so fast. Last November at the men’s retreat I came home telling Melisa that we’re not supposed to live here (not in the US was my understanding at the time, but I had no idea where God would lead us).

I’m still really excited about the potential of finding a place with a Business as Mission position. I”m not sure how that would work or what that would look like, but it fits all the objections I had to “being a missionary”… It would put me working right along side the people I’d be trying to reach and it would give me an opportunity to be more than just a foreigner taking up space in a cubicle.

I’m going to try & set up some time with Steven & Stacy (the couple who got back from India not too long ago) to see what God is doing with/through them. I’ve also got to corner Ross. We’re been trying to set aside time with him for a while, but he’s been super busy.

Well, there you go. A little news about a lot of stuff.
