  • India - October 2012

    We left October 22nd for a three week trip to India. While there, we spent time doing workshops at a Pastor's Conference, visiting orphans and teaching in the Bible School. Before we left the U.S., we were able to raise over $25,000 to build 2 wells in Bangalore, a community of 200,000 that was in desperate need of water. We had a team of 9 people that went on this mission trip. India is truly a great harvest and we really enjoyed our time there taking care of some "Kingdom business".

  • India - April 2012

    We went to India with our good friend, Pastor Kevin Cooley, on a mission trip. We were able to minister at a Pastor's Conference on marriage on our 26th wedding anniversary. The whole time we were there we helped with a "Church Makeover", painting walls, ceilings, doors, etc. We had the opportunity to minister to a cell group of about 20 people in a Pastor's home. We spoke on tithing at the conference and at the Sunday church service. We loved the people and look forward to our next trip back to India this fall.
