I'm not going to New Delhi, but Have a Happy Tenali doesn't work as well.
Praise be to God, as of this evening I have surpassed my fundraising goal for India. What a Christmas gift. And really, this praise is not about the money. My greatest struggle so far on this India journey has been a semi-consistent feeling that I could not possibly have anything of worth to offer to the people I will encounter in India. I can honestly say every donation came at a time where I was feeling discouraged by the enemy, when I was being told I would have nothing of value to share. God's timing is perfect, He has been fighting for me.
With every donation I was not only reminded of God's provision, I was also given the name of an individual (or individuals) who believed in me and God's ability to work through me enough to invest in this trip. God has not just raised myself and my team up to go help do His work in India. He has raised up an army of supporters to provide, pray, and encourage us. And I am so grateful.
So I just want to say thank you to all who have supported financially and to those who have been supporting through prayer. Your time and finances will bear much fruit. Not because of me or the team or Harvest India, but because God has a plan and it will come to fruition.
We leave on Thursday at 4 pm from LAX. The team has a blog we will update in India as often as we have both an opportunity to as well as an internet connection. Here is the link: www.rockharborindia.wordpress.com Right now it only has posts from last years India trip, but should be updated very soon.
Please continue praying. We will need it. Can't wait to share all the good things God does. Merry Christmas and Have a Happy New Year. Much love to you all.
