Well I’m back in Northern India. This time on my own and in a different location than I was three weeks ago. My purpose this trip is to scout out ministry locations and to develop new contacts for future world race teams. Basically, I’m trying to break open new ground up here so we can get some world race teams plugged in.
Now, if you are asking what about the rest of my squad back in Delhi – who’s watching over them? That’s a great question AND it gives me a chance to tell you about my new role on the world race. Right now the squad is under the leadership of Patrice Deaton. She’s been one of my top team leaders and she’s a rock star – so the squad is in good hands. Now with Patrice at the wheel, I’m getting a chance to make a couple scouting trips this month. Of course I’m on one right now and then next week I’ll be in Nepal for a few days. The cool thing is this new role is allowing me to make an impact on the whole world race program and not just my team. So it’s a good thing:)
OK, so here’s the part I’m most excited about! I’m going to get a chance to work with other world race teams out in the field. Here in a couple weeks I’ll help debrief the July team in Thailand. Then, next month I’ll have an opportunity to help launch the October team in The Philippines. Folks, this is my passion – encouraging and pouring into other people who are walking this crazy journey called the World Race. And this is also how a lot of my role will look next year. The deal is this, God has called my to prepare HIS people for works of service in order to build up the body of Christ. And He’s called me to do that through the World Race. It’s a role I can pretty much fulfill in the states. (So don’t worry mom!) Obviously there will be times I will do some traveling next year, but for the most part I’ll be in America. Right now I don’t have all the details lined out, but I wanted ya’ll to know this was on my heart. Bottom line is I will need to continue to raise support so I can do this deal fulltime. So I’ll be asking all my supporters to pray about that as well.
Alright moving on, let me tell you about this awesome place I’m staying. The town is called Shilma and it’s located about 7200 feet up in the Himalayan Mountian Range – not far from the Tibetan border. Now, not only am I finding out about some great ministry opportunities up here, but I’m also getting a chance to check out some beautiful country. Have a look!
