Excited for India

It's official. We're going to India from August 8-19. The flights have been purchased, and Julie and I are in full planning mode for the adventure that God has in store for us in India. This will be part vision trip where we will learn more about what God is doing through our North Way East End global partners, Jose Joseph and Sarah Banks Joseph, and part teaching trip where I'll be serving as a professor at the School of Urban Mission in Trichy with my friend, Muthu.

I am excited about this trip because God has given me a passion for cities, and a passion for God's global mission. I love the work that God has called me to in Pittsburgh, but I also love to travel and participate in the work that the Holy Spirit is doing in other countries. As the Lord presents opportunities to be a part of his global mission, I am hoping to continue to be stretched and grown in my faith.

We are seeking both prayer and financial support for this trip to India. If you are interested in supporting us financially, just email me at bryanm@northway.org and I can give you the details on the logistics. If you would like to pray for us, at this point in time please pray for us as we prepare the week-long curriculum for teaching at the SOUM in Trichy, pray for God to be in the details of our trip planning, and pray in advance that God will do a mighty work in our lives and in the lives of the people we will be visiting in India.
