Praise God, rather than becoming bitter and fearful (although, admittedly, there were (and are) moments of frustration and uncertainty), we chose to look to Him. We felt a strong conviction to do as Daniel did - we began praying together 3 times each day.
And things began to change!!
No, our circumstances did not change. However, our outlook on our lives, our marriage, and our call to ministry shifted drastically - and we began to see the path God was nudging us toward.
Surprisingly, that path was leading straight to India! In all the years of praying about Christian Ministry, neither of us ever envisioned overseas missions. Yet, here we were seriously considering becoming Missionaries in India!
Madhav began doing a bit of volunteer work with LCMI in order to get a better feel for the ministry.
And in June, 2012, Madhav and I both traveled to India in order to participate in 3 LCMI camps. While there, we had the opportunity to teach the daily Bible class . . . and have a ton of fun with the children who came to camp!
And, we continued to pray.
After returning from India, Madhav and I both felt God saying it was time to "take a leap of faith."
And, so, we applied to become missionaries with LCMI.
And, so, we applied to become missionaries with LCMI.
That's where we are today. We have decided to say, "Yes" to God's calling to India.
And LCMI has appointed us to join them in reaching the children of India.
Needless to say, we are SO excited - and absolutely terrified at the same time!
