“She girds herself with strength, and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night”.-Proverbs 31:17-18                   WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW? Her husband would yell in his drunken fits, as his fists hammered a beating on her petite framed body. WHERE IS YOUR JESUS? This is just one of many stories that I have heard like this from her. And her name is Strength. She is a born again Believer, and she is one of the shop owners on...

This country needs good men. I noticed this almost immediately after starting ministry in India. There are so many different issues that this country is facing. But in my opinion, the root of so many of them is the men. So many men in this country do not work. But their wives do. What do the men do? Take care of their children? No. Tend to household duties?

This week was hard. I spent two days completely passed out with one of the worst migraines I’ve ever had. I threw up more times than I can count and could not kick the migraine i had. Coupled with an exhausting couple of weeks, I was having trouble keeping a kingdom perspective. And you know what, obedience to God’s plan is really hard sometimes.

It’s such a beautiful reminder of what creation represents: the INSPIRATION of God. Standing at the edge of the Arabian Sea with warm waves lapping around my feet and a cool breeze...

Throughout this whole trip I’ve been continually surrendering myself to God’s plan for my life.  Daily lifting up my hands and my heart and saying “Here I am. Use me however You want.”  When I came here to India I had no idea what I was doing after this trip. I actually dreaded coming home because I knew nothing could top this experience and after it life would be dull in comparison. In the beginning of this trip, instead of enjoying my time here, I was only focused on planning the next step. I ended up getting really anxious and scared about not having a...
