While in India we will be visiting Hyderabad, Telangana, population 10 million (WHOA!!!),  and Mandapeta, Andhra Pradesh, for 2 entire weeks!!! There we will be proclaiming the LOVE OF CHRIST, laying hands on the sick and preaching about the KINGDOM!  It's hard to believe but some of the people we will encounter will never have heard the name of our Lord.  

I'm writing this letter to ask you for your support!!  First and foremost, our team needs partners in prayer!!!  Prayer is the single most effective thing we can do!!!  Please pray for our safety, pray that we continue to do what the Lord is asking of us and to keep HIM at the forefront of our minds.  Pray that we walk with His spirit of LOVE so that the Father could win over and change the hearts of everyone we come into contact with. Pray for the type of miracles you read about in the Holy Word and please pray for each one of our finances so that we can do the will of the Father!

In addition to prayer partners I'm asking for help with the financial backing of this trip!  I need to raise a total of $3,500, so whatever you can give would be greatly appreciated.  So far I have raised $180 and need to place another payment on March 26th. I'm short about $900 for that deadline. The research I've done says that we should say something like this: "I recommend a gift of $50, $100 or $150, but of course, any amount is more than welcome.” So....there it is. ;) Wink, wink....

If you can't give, that's ok!  I totally understand.  Committing to prayer is the BEST thing you can do for me and the other members of our team anyway!  SO THANK YOU if you are able to make that HUGE commitment!!! 

We have hearts of expectation as we prepare for our journey to India together.  The lame will walk, the blind will see and the dead will raise!  MANY people will give their lives to CHRIST!  OH. MY. GOODNESS.  I couldn't be more excited to see what Abba has planned!!!  What other KING shares in His goodness like our creator??  WOW!  Thank you so much for your prayerful consideration for a monetary donation and more so thank you for your commitment of PRAYER!  I can't begin to express my gratitude.  Finally I can tell you, because I'm speaking from experience and because the WORD tells us so, the LORD will finish the good work he started in YOU!  He fulfills the desires He places in your heart, even if it takes 26 years!   

I will be praying for each and every one you. If you have specific prayer request please contact me.  Call. Facebook. Write.  Do whatever it takes, I can't wait to hear back from each of you!  Don't forget to tell me if you are making a prayer commitment!!!   

I love and appreciate you so much!
