I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect since I’d never gone on a trip like this before, but I can tell you that God opened up so many doors and changed the lives of numerous people during that trip. Of those included Heather and I.

All the people we had the opportunity to meet with were wonderful. We met some amazing Bhutanese, Indian, Nepali people and even some other Americans living abroad. They were so amazed to see some people from Oklahoma visit them in India.

What I found quite interesting were the cultural differences between the people in these areas and here in the States. You just get used to doing things a certain way or having small things like waiting in lines or even weird smells – things that you get used to just being that way. Then you step off the plane in a country half-way around the world and things are not like they are at home…not by far. That said, the generosity of these people is overwhelmingly different than here.

We had a great opportunity to invest in the lives of numerous students, young people, and locals in that specific area of India. We enjoyed our chances to share the Truth with them as well as spend time blessing those who were giving their lives to do “M” work in this region.

All-in-all, it was a wonderful experience and I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I could…and I just might! We’ll just have to see what doors God opens for us next.

Check out the slideshow after the break.

Slideshow

Here’s a small slideshow of some pictures I took. It’s trimmed down to like 260 or so, but with a photo-friendly group that went, we had over 6GB of photos of 12 days!
