\"20151021_205326\"<\/a>Our October trip included 5 days for a SEAPC prayer-focused conference in Hong Kong, a 5-day \u201cintro to India\u201d for Jan (another \u201cfirst\u201d) including various ministry opportunities (see her \u201cTaste of Asia\u201d article on website), an Intercessors conference in Delhi, several days praying and ministering in remote villages, and a weekend in the Kashmir region. <\/em><\/p>\n

This was my fourth journey to this interesting area of north India. The first time we went there to pray, knowing no one. The second time we went to pray and met one key man. The third time we went I was asked to preach at the Anglican Church. Now, for my fourth trip I was invited to conduct a 3 day healing and revival conference for all the Christians in this area. It\u2019s an amazing thing to see what God opens for those who simply go\u2026and pray.<\/em><\/p>\n

But what makes this even more significant is the location of this city. It sits near the Pakistani border. \u00a0It is known as a hot spot for militant extremism. It is 99.9% Muslim and the few Christians remaining are highly persecuted. It was in this place that God invited us to come walk wit\"20151023_105100\"h Him and pray\u2026where He asked us to come and minister to His people\u2026loving them, encouraging them, healing them, giving them new faith and vision.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

It also fills you with wonder to know you have been sent by God with \"Screenshot_2015-10-22-22-10-10\"His love, with His authority and His mandate to advance His Kingdom.\u00a0He leads us each step\u2026walking through the streets past the military dressed in riot gear, the smoke from tear gas and flash grenades still hanging in the air as the mobs are dispersed\u2026going house to house praying, healing and sharing God\u2019s love\u2026ministering at a healing and revival conference where God\u2019s Spirit moved in power. <\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you for going with us on an amazing journey once again, through your prayers and your giving. May you also be \u201cfilled with wonder\u201d at what God is doing. We serve an amazing God!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
