India and Bangladesh

Our Eyewitness Trip to India and Bangladesh begins later today. Joining me on the team are Pastor Ed Rosenberry, Joyce Hornbaker, Denae Hornbaker, and Dan Forry. We will arrive in Kolkata, India on Thursday morning, the 11th and be in the Uluberia area (south of Kolkata) through the weekend visiting churches and schools. Uluberia is where our overseas CGGC ministry began in 1898. We then travel via overnight train next Monday night (the 15th) to northern part of West Bengal to the Malda district to visit more ministries. From there, we travel overland to cross the border into Bangladesh on November 17 and will be based at Bogra for the next several days. Bangladesh is our largest mission work with over 100 churches, many schools, and two excellent medical facilities. We begin our journey back home on Monday evening, the 22nd and arrive back in the States on the morning of the 23rd. Please pray for safe travel, good health, open minds, receptive hearts, and positive attitudes for our team. Also pray for our hosts who are always gracious and very hospitable. I know there is so much more they want us to see and experience than what our time will allow. Pray that we will make the most of our opportunity there.
Blessed to be a blessing,
