Together in South Asia

Recently, we had the opportunity to join 15 local national brothers and sisters for a cross-cultural M trip (East Asians going to serve South Asians). 

For nine days, we ministered to people in West Bengal.

Part of the team used their Medical and Dental skills to share HIStory.

Every day, they also used music, skits, and a brief message to share HIStory.

Some of the team also pryed with locals.

It was GREAT for East Asian believers to work alongside of South Asian believers.

Jack and I did 4 days of Leadership Training with Indian and Bhutanese leaders.

The Bhutanese only have the New Testament, so much of their learning was ORAL MEMORIZATION.

All of the leaders worked very hard to learn HIStory from Creation to HIM!  They also learned a lot about how to tell TRUTH from cults.

One unbelievable opportunity arose.  Four young monks who recently became believers and left the Buddhist monastery were there to receive training.  They learned all the stories of:  creation, fall/curse, commandments, animal sacrifice system, birth, miracles, death, resurrection, and prodigal son.  How exciting to see these young men learn the complete story,
so they can train others.
