The most powerful part of our trip to India was meeting so many fantastic people! They opened up their homes, showed unabashed appreciation, honored us like we didn’t deserve and worked so hard to make our time there even more special. What a blessed gift to pray for people on the other side of the planet and to know that they are also praying for you…
I wish I could remember everyone’s name (or even knew everyone’s name) but I know Someone who does!
