Our Trip to Bangalore, India

Wesley and I had the most wonderful opportunity to serve and share the gospel with the people in Bangalore, India over the last two weeks! We just got back and are still trying to get over jet lag...we seem to still be going to bed at 9pm and getting up at 5am!
We had an incredible time in India! Most days we would go from shop to shop and asking if we could pray for people and sharing the gospel. It was a challenge but the Lord gave us so much grace to do it! It's amazing how open people are to prayer and how many healings we saw with our very own eyes! God is truly doing something amazing!! At one restaurant we saw 6 people healed immediately after we prayed for them! My heart was so thrilled because I've really only read about the miracles God does but haven't seen it with my own eyes.

We spent one day in a home that is for the destitute and dying of Bangalore. It is owned by a christian man that used to be a rickshaw driver but saw a need....it was incredible. We loved on people and prayed for people that had been through the toughest lives. Our heart was to be Jesus to them!

Everyday we lived life...so if we needed to go shopping for gifts we did that, and shared Jesus as we went....if we needed to go to the coffee shop (and you know we did!!!!), then we shared Jesus there as well. It became a lifestyle that we are bringing back to Texas! We want our lives to reflect Jesus and live that Jesus did!! We are thrilled that our lives have been forever changed and really look forward to seeing what He does in and through us!
We saw salvations and many healings as a team and we as well were changed forever!
What a heart God can give us for people when we ask! Thank you all for sowing into us...we saw amazing fruit in India!
We did a horrible job with taking pictures while we were there, but here are a few of the city of Bangalore, the view from our apartment, and Wes and I on our date at the top of a 13 story building overlooking the city!
