I'm heading to India with my pastor, Tim Wilbur, of New Song Community Church, East Wenatchee WA. Tim and I, as well as our buddies Kent Getzin and Kent's son Jordan, will leave Sunday Feb. 28. We'll be there 3 weeks and I thought this time, my second trip, I'll blog my way through.
This will be Pastor Tim's 10th trip. His primary ministry there has been to train Indian pastors, seeing as how there is little or no available leadership development for Indian Christian leaders in a country where less the 3 % of the population is Christian. Due to Tim's work, they name every new church after New Song. When I went with Tim 3 years ago, there were 70 of these churches. I'm told, and Tim confirms that he has been given this number as well, that there are now 1,500 churches named after New Song in the region of Andra Pradesh, where we'll be going. Pretty incredible.
My plan is to support Tim, help him where he needs it whether he likes it or not (>: and give this blog daily updates. We'll so how it goes . . .
