Crossroads

Many of you probably know already, but our friend Jessica Garber will be going to India on a medical ‘e-team’ with a group of doctors and nurses in the network of Sovereign Grace churches. She’ll be leaving this coming Sunday for the state of Gujirat in north-western India and will be there a little over a week. She told us that this region of India can be hostile to Christians and asked us to pray for the health and safety of the team. 

But I want you to note what Jessica wants us to pray for the most:

"My hope is that though our medical work and our mere presence there, we will promote the Gospel and extend the hope of Jesus Christ to the people of this region… Please pray:

• that the Lord would go before us and prepare the hearts of those we touch to hear and be receptive to the gospel.
• that we would be bold and courageous in proclaiming the gospel.

We’ll be praying for you, Jessica. Thanks for exemplifying the heart of the Lord for the poor and needy in India!
