This blog is where I'll be posting pictures and information during my upcoming trip to India. I look forward to working with the Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA), a network of hospitals that works to serve the poor and marginalized in India. EHA's medical service to the poor shines a light for Christ in ways that specifically and powerfully impact Indian culture. I plan to work with each hospital's Community Health Project, a project by each hospital that pushes medicine (and as a result, the Gospel) out into the surrounding rural villages. I am blessed to be able to serve alongside this organization!
While you're still reading, I'd really appreciate prayer for a few different things while I'm in India.
- Continued health is one of the biggest prayer requests I have. India can be tough as it relates to staying well. Pills and shots can only do so much - on my previous trips, I've seen that many times, I need to rely on God to keep me healthy.
- Safety can be issue in some of the places where I'll be visiting. I'll just keep this short and ask for prayer for safety and travel.
- I will be spending roughly six weeks away. In India, this would be incredibly draining if I tried to do it by myself. Fortunately, I don't have to :). Prayers for God-given energy would be greatly appreciated.
- Lastly, one of my personal prayers, in addition to those above, would be for a servant's attitude. I want to help the mission there as much as I possibly can. As I said above, I am planning to work with the hospitals' Community Health Projects. However, as I have learned before, plans can change in India on very short notice. Please pray that I would be open to however God wants to use and change me on this trip.
Thank you for your prayers. I really appreciate them!
I will be leaving January 27 and anticipate coming back on March 14. This blog will be my primary means of updating my progress. I'll also be updating my Facebook profile, my Twitter account (@dandrew94), and even sending out an email or two if there are large updates.
Check back often, and thanks for your prayers!
