Ericka here – posting this for Rusty, since it’s around 2am in India and he and the squad don’t have internet access. (The time difference is 9 and 1/2 hours ahead of Eastern Time, if you’re wondering.)
We just wanted to let you all know that (after a few delays) the first half of the squad made it safely to India tonight. That would be:
Rusty, Magen, Caroline, Patrice, Meredith, Nate, Sarah, Jen, Kim, Kelton, Gretchen, Teagan and Laura.
I just got off the phone with my good friend in India (who’s our American contact there) who had the team with him. Half were already at the house for the night – the other half were in the car with him, about 15 minutes away from ‘home’. We’ve checked and double-checked – everyone is accounted for and will be locked – safe and sound- into the house for the night soon. I know they all need a good nights sleep after their day of travel.
The rest of the squad will leave from South Africa later today. That group is:
Mark, Robby, Steve, Eli, Matt Peters, Matt Snyder, Angie, Ruby, Andi, Michelle, Becky and Tammy.
Just wanted to update you all! Please continue to pray for safe and stress-free travel (for the 2nd travel group). For the whole squad – please start covering their time in India in prayer! Pray for protection, strength, rest, good health, and for God to be at work in them and through them in powerful ways!
