If you're looking for a way to fulfill the 4th and final concentric circle of the Great Commission ("the ends of the earth"), I invite you to pray about joining me on two upcoming trips.
My next trip will be to Curitiba, Brazil on Sept. 12-21. We'll be helping a new church plant in the village of Vila Sandra reach out to their community by engaging in door-to-door evangelism and discipleship for the week. The pastor of the church plant, Jose Carlos, is a godly man with a heart for Vila Sandra, a slum area of Curitiba. The few members of his church are looking forward to a team of Americans coming down in September to help them bring in the harvest.
My last trip of the year will be to West Bengal, India on Nov. 14-23, the week before Thanksgiving. We'll be partnering with a pastor and church to reach an area of eastern India where the majority of the people work on tea plantations. The harvest is VERY ripe there, and we're praying that God would send forth laborers on this trip to help the nationals share the gospel. Based on past experience, I can promise you that it will be a life-changing trip.
If you'd like to join me on either of these trips, all you have to do is:
(1) just go to http://www.e3partners.org/pages/page.asp?page_id=25720;
(2) scroll down to the particular trip;
(3) click on the "more info" button; and
(4) click on the "online application" icon.
All you need to do is fill out the application and send in a $200 deposit. After that, you'll receive a Go Team Starter Kit which will help you send out all of your support letters (that is, if you need to raise support). After that, I'll orient you and the rest of the team as the trip approaches.
Can God change the world through a team of available, obedient followers? He did it through 12 uneducated men and birthed the church. He can do it again.
