We went to a Travel Clinic to get the rest of our vaccinations yesterday. What a world of difference from the quick clinic!
I guess you get what you pay for. The nurse went through each of the vaccinations recommended for the Indian subcontinent and gave us a thorough explanation of the risks/benefits of each vaccination […]

My Best Friend
Published by 1 year, 7 months ago in Social, Our Story and India. 1 CommentLast night, Jon and I ran across a documentary on humanitarian aid workers on PBS. It was really quite interesting.

Ahhh…our travel plans are complete!

Building the right foundation
Published by 1 year, 7 months ago in Business as Mission. 0 CommentsOver the past several months, God has quickened a verse to my heart regarding the building of the business in India:
Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.”
There has been an urgency on my heart to pray that our business would be built upon the correct foundation - Jesus Christ […]
Our travel plans for India are coming along quite well. We purchased our plane tickets a few weeks ago, have all of our hotels booked, and just received our visas in the mail on Saturday! We still need to go get vaccinations - something neither of us is looking forward to.
