Americans in Asia - experiencing how literacy brings the hope of the gospel

Though I've been to Asia many times, this fall was the first for me; I had the great privilege of leading my first short-term team in that part of the world. It was an incredible team and an incredible trip. Part of what made it so special was getting to experience life and ministry together with such an amazing group of spiritual giants.  For several, it was there first time to experience the unique sights, sounds, and smells of the Asian subcontinent.  There are many exciting things to share about how God is transforming lives through His church.  Thankfully, one of the team members owns a video production company and is currently working on putting together several short videos that will help to better tell the story! 

My photos never seem to do it justice.....but I hope it helps paint the picture of the trip.   














The team did incredibly well adjusting to the culture and there was a lot of mutual sharing, encouragement, and teaching going on.  









We got to meet up with one of our workers who was leading a workshop to train new literacy teachers using the Bhojpuri primer.  We also filmed some literacy classes in other parts of the country and recorded testimonies from both the new readers and their teachers.  














We also were able to meet some beautiful children at two orphanages, most of whom were formerly living on the streets and begging for food.  Now, they are living life to the fullest and enjoying the promise of everlasting life in heaven:









We also had the honor of training church leaders and church planters in the areas of Marriage in Ministry, Christian Discipleship, and Leading Teams:









What a great joy to fellowship with local believers and see the same regeneration that comes from the Spirit of God. 







Please pray for many more people to come to know about the power of the gospel.  Will you be a part of the next life-changing trip to see how God is moving in powerful and mind-blowing ways.  Will you share your talents and testimony with the nations of the world?  Get involved with LEI and bring hope to the nations!
