Jai Ho! (Slumdog Millionare
anyone?) I have probably said this phrase far too much without knowing what it
actually means. Thankfully, the meaning didn’t turn out to be insanely
offensive or inappropriate. The Hindi phrase Jai Ho basically translates to
“Victory”. These past few days at training camp the idea of having victory has
been a pervading theme in my own heart. When praying in preparation for India,
I specifically desired that our team would be unified like the believers in
Acts. Here’s the thing, the Holy Spirit has done some crazy work in bringing us
all together. We’ve bonded through PRAYER, camping, meals, worship, and
laughter. Lots of laughter. Not only have we seen victory in unity over our
team, but in our personal lives as well. From “cultural immersion” activities
to learning how to surrender things that we struggle with; there has been
victory. Man, being with God is exciting! Over India I pray for the same thing.
Jai Ho! See, God is already in India, we’re just getting to partner with him
there and watch the ways that he will be victorious.
