One Month in India

I'm finally back in the U.S. and looking back on my travel journal and photos from the last month. This was the longest I've ever been out of the country and I only new one person on the trip before heading out. 

The original plan was to be in Northern India for 10 days. When I arrived, the leader of the organization I was with asked if I'd like to stay for the rest of the month long trip. I was thrilled with the offer, had my flight back changed and it was set. 

We visited orphanages, bridging schools, shelters for the aged, leper colonies and more. We met some incredible people, shared the gospel with hundreds of kids and I even got to preach for the first time in front of a congregation, in India, with a translator. 

I've decided that there are too many stories to tell from a month in India, so I will post a lot of photos here with brief summaries, and then begin posting a few individual photos with in depth stories in the coming days.

The provision of this motorcycle in this young pastor's life is going to completely change the reach of his ministry in a huge way. So honored to have been there when he received it.

I will be posting more in-depth stories from some of these photos and people in the near future. 

Overall, God did some serious work, broke down some huge barriers, used me in ways I still cannot believe and I can't freaking wait to see what He has next for me.
