Sometimes Ministry in India looks like…
We spent 2 months in India and it was PACKED full of awesome ministry! We got the really cool opportunity to travel to various areas of northeast India. I broke our ministry down into the different villages that we were in. We also had our Parent Vision Trip during this time so I included a section about what we were able to do with our families!!
