The Road to India

As I type this email, I’m at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport awaiting my flight through Frankfurt, Germany to Kolkata. For the next two weeks, I am honored to travel to the beautiful country of India to meet ministry partners and to develop a new summer mission outreach. I'll spend time in the cities of Kolkata (aka Calcutta), Bangalore, Nagpur, and Hyderabad. In Hyderabad, I will spend a week taking a course in my Doctor of Ministry program.

Although I didn’t expect it to be easy, leaving my family in Minneapolis was difficult—more difficult than I had anticipated. I am incredibly blessed with a wife who fully supports me, prays for me, and wants God’s glory to be reign in me. I consider it a blessing to love someone so much it hurts to leave for two weeks. My kids, of course, are also incredible and I will also miss them deeply.

God’s richest blessings to you all.

I will also be posting ministry updates on this page: http://cas.bethel.edu/campus-ministries/sb-missions/sb_updates

I hope you enjoy the ride with me!

Levi--here's a picture of me with the plane that will take me to India! It's a little hard to see the plane through the window, but can you find the plane in the picture?

I love you, buddy! See you in 15 sleeps!
