My new surprising adventure!!



When? June 3rd – 18th 2016 

DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY,

I am super excited to share with you an opportunity that has sprung up quite quickly and surprisingly for me this summer! A few weeks ago, my family and I visited South Fellowship Church and I checked a box on the new visitor bulletin about missions. A week later, I got a phone call about a short term prayer trip this summer with a small group of young adults to India! In typical “Susie” fashion, I jumped on the opportunity to experience God’s kingdom in a new country. I met with the leader, Dell McDonald, I shared the opportunity with a few close friends and family, and it was immediately clear that God wanted me to take this opportunity.
My passion for Jesus and His ministry across the world started in Kenya and has since expanded to Costa Rica and Asia. Now God is opening another door for me to visit another part of Asia. Over the past eight years Dell McDonald has worked with South Fellowship’s missionary partners Viju Abraham and his family. Our team of seven will be visiting three cities in central and northern India with the vision of praying for South Fellowship’s current ministry partners, for the people of India and for the country and leadership in India. We will also have a chance to gain an understanding of the culture, history and ministry in India. We will be visiting three cities: Mumbai, New and Old Delhi, Srinagar.
In Mumbai, we will visit and pray with ministry projects in the area, such as Oasis, Vision Rescue and Navjeevan in the Red Light District. In Old Delhi, we will visit downtown Delhi, do a prayer walk through the city, meet ministry leaders and pray for their plans, and pray for India from the prayer tower. In Srinagar, we will see the importance of the river for local life and commerce, meet health care workers to observe efforts to meet the medical needs of people, and meet house church leaders to pray with them. And of course, we will do some tourist-y things like the caves in Mumbai and some other sight-seeing in Colaba and Malabar Hill J.

Thank you for taking a moment to read about my plans for this June! I will keep you all in the loop via Facebook or here on my blog (http://bysusiebissett.blogspot.com/) on this new, exciting adventure.
