BSN in Nepal
The favor and providence of God is brightly shining here in Asia! The Bible School for the Nations (BSN) in Nepal is keeping me busy as I teach the book of Exodus and many other topics regarding God’s power and goodness. When I’m not teaching, I’m overseeing our bodacious bamboo greenhouse and beautifying our vibrant orange classroom. What fun projects they’ve been! Before I know it however, I fully extend my Nepali visa for 2011 and can no longer stay in the country. On my last night, I enjoy a delectable Love Feast prepared by my loving BSN family.
BDTS in Delhi
I then take on the challenge to find the Backpackers DTS in the midst of the overpopulated city of Delhi. Mission impossible! I embark at 5am on a motorbike in a Himalayan village of Nepal. Sixteen hours later enduring taxis, buses, planes, subways, and rickshaws, I walk right into their room to everyone’s surprise!!! We enthusiastically celebrate their ruined-for-the-ordinary lives as they debrief their six-month BDTS and launch into their world-changing destinies! My short time with the BDTS is both highly enjoyable and prophetically fruitful. I’m blessed beyond my wildest imaginations to see the Backpackers DTS ministry continuing to transform lives for the Kingdom. Before I know it, I’m saying more goodbye’s and sending my beloved friends back to the states.
Personal Travels
Right smack dab in the middle of all my extravagant travels, I discover my first cavity I’ve ever had! Somehow, my first cavity mysteriously escalated to the need for a root canal...and I’m in India! Needless to say, God directs my steps and I’m undergoing the painful process and popping pills. From Delhi I travel north... to West Bengal where I encounter more people pointing opposite directions, rickshaws with bent wheels, maps with undecipherable scribbles, and hours of noisy bus travel. Instead of enduring the unbearably hot and crowded bus, I decide to take my chances, climb to the top, and cling for dear life. Oh the stories to be told from such misery!
BELT in West Bengal
On 11/11/11, God unleashes heaven as I reunite with my good friends James and Nelson in the tribal village of Hamiltonganj. National Geographic and Missions Magazine combined is truly surreal. We’ll be facilitating a Biblical Education & Leadership Training (BELT) Seminar for the next three weeks here. For the next few days, I’ll be teaching the Pursuit of Truth. I’m totally blown away God is using us to teach indigenous tribal leaders on the border of Bhutan about the faithfulness of Jesus Christ! Unfortunately, sickness is becoming far too familiar here in Asia. I’m pretty wiped out but overall enthused for the coming revivals!
I pray this letter stimulates your passions within to discover the adventures of God’s heart! Visit my Facebook profile to watch a linked video and prepare to be “Called by God!”
