His Word Brings Hope
Under the tin roofs of jungle village churches believers are still counting on the Great Physician. They are throwing themselves and every problem they have down before the throne and crying out "God help us, there is nothing we can do – but we have You.'"

INDIA
Orphanage Outreach
Rural Village Evangelism
Untouchable Ministry
In areas of the world where medicine is rare and disease is common, there are more orphans than beds or facilities to house them. We continue to go, share the love of Christ and be His Ambassadors of hope. "You have not been forgotten, He knows you are here and He knows your name."
Untouchable Ministry
Rural Village Evangelism
Untouchable Ministry
During the ministry of Christ, the religious elite criticised His company with those that were "untouchable." Even 2000 years later there are people the culture they live in designates them as less than human. It is a population of people ready to receive the message of worthiness, delivered with love.

Rural Village Evangelism
There are parts of Texas when I was a child we often called "the sticks," implying not much else was around - but sticks! Working in third and fourth world areas, the word rural has taken on a whole new meaning. It gives me a greater sense of the supernatural. Jesus knows the way to their house!
Pastoral Training
Pastoral Training
Rural Village Evangelism
We shared training with hundreds of pastors and lay leaders, eager to learn more of the Gospel and how to share their faith. However, we were also learning from them. These passionate evangelists pleaded for prayers - prayers that they would continue to be bold in their faith, even through persecution.
Leper Colonies
Pastoral Training
Attack in Gokak
You might not have known there are places in the world where leprosy is still a disease impacting the population. We were happy to have an opportunity to show these forgotten and rejected hearts, there is a God of mercy and love, He knows and He cares.
Attack in Gokak
Pastoral Training
Attack in Gokak
In parts of rural India, factions of radicals are ready to fight against the message of the Gospel. We were not unaware of the violence, we had heard from many in ministry of times they were beaten and chased out of villages. We did not expect it to happen to us, until it did.
SRI LANKA
Like No Place I had Ever Been
Until December 25, 2004 Sri Lanka was hardly talked of or on anyone's radar. All that changed when a tidal wave raced across the ocean and killed over 30,000 people on the island nation. Our opportunity to visit the orphans took us there three times, to mountside tea plantations, schools located deep in jungled forests, and to the oceanside orphanage now home to hundreds of children whose parents had been swept away.
Sri Lanka was like no place I had ever been, and yet it's much like every Third World place I've been.
Orphanage Construction Project

Life Goes On
Our visits were filled with laughter and delight. We were not like the humanitarian workers, delivering innoculations and medical check ups. We focused on fun, and bringing hugs of hope to every child.
