To India – Please Pray!

Dear Kidstown Friends,

Over the course of the next few weeks there will be alot of Kidstown activity on the India front.  We are excited about this, but also are aware of some of the challenges and potential risks that lie ahead and as such we ask  you, our Kidstown family, to cover us with your prayers.

1. The Activity.  Eleven of us will be travelling to India this month, not all together or at the same time, but staggered over the course of the next two weeks.  One group (seven persons) will be spending a week at an orphanage engaged in intensive ministry, including a Vacation Bible School which will target 22 of our orphans and 100 or more local kids as well.  A second group (two persons) will be spending time with the leaders and kids at another orphanage, learning more about the area, vision for the ministry, and how to best support the work.  The final group (myself and one other person) will be travelling extensively, visiting 10 different orphanages over the course of the next 15 days.

2. The Opportunity.  Of one thing we are sure: God is active in India.  He is already there, at work, and is allowing (all of) us the opportunity of joining Him!  So as we go, we don’t go with fear but with anticipation!  Our prayer is that He may use us to amplifly what He is doing, so that more kids may be helped…evangelized…discipled…and then released as agents of Light to those still in darkness!

3. The Cover.  Any military offensive would be hindered without adequate artillery covering, which is crucial for providing safe passage to the troops below.  And that’s just what our 11 “troops” need from you!  We need your prayer cover so that we can travel, engage, discern, encourage, and accomplish all that God has for us.  So, will you pray?

On behalf of all of us, many thanks!  Stay tuned to updates, photos, and even an occasional YouTube video!
