INDIA

Hey Guys just letting you know i made it here safe and sound to india... there is an internet cafe right around the corner so i will be able to keep you updated often.... love you guys and i wil;l have time alter to fill you in more on what is happening here.....

What do you do when the rain is pouring down, and a bus that is supposed to be keeping you dry begins leak and drench you in freezing cold rain? ANSWER: Find a way to keep the rain out of the bus.
Last week our D.T.S along with several other Youth With A Mission (YWAM) teams had the opportunity to go to the YWAM South East Conference in Talledega Alabama. This conference brought together all the YWAM bases in the South East district of the United States. There we had the opportunity to hear from and amazing speaker by the name of Winkey Pratney, who challenged us with the phrase “What in the world are you doing for heavens sake.” That week also allowed us times of powerful and passionate worship and intercession. These times brought together 300 people to intercede on behalf of issues and nations all around the world. It was an amazing thing to experience. What does this have to do with a leaky bus?
On the way home from this conference it was a very rainy, very cold day. We had thirty two people, plus luggage crammed into this bus for a thirteen hour ride back home to Orlando. About an hour after we began our trip the bus begins to leak rain from the ceiling, and from the windows. The result: a very cold and soggy group of YWAMers. This combined with tiredness, left so much room for complaints, bad moods, and words that would have been regretted later. However the complete opposite happened. The mood on the bus was actually very light and full of motivation. “ the bus is leaking let’s fix it!” So after a quick stop to pick up some duct tape we began the best team work experience I have ever had. Taking our duct tape and five plastic bags we began to make a canopy to catch all the rain so we could keep dry! I am so excited to be going to India with this team of people. After the bus experience I know that whatever comes our way, as a team we will go into it full force and without complaint. In exactly three weeks will be heading out to India, New Delhi to be exact. None of us really knows what to expect when we get there. We are praying that God would Use us in magnificent ways. Please continue praying for us as we prepare to step even farther out of our comfort zones and into the unknown. I am so thankful for all of your prayers and support. I cannot tell you enough how thankful I am that God and you have allowed me this
opportunity!

Building His Kingdom,
