in every way so that you can be generous on every occassion."
Paul wrote these words in 2 Corinthians 9.11 and we have found them true for us. When Melissa and I committed to this trip. We agreed on an amount of money we would put toward this journey. If others gave to support us then we decided to not dimish the amount but simply to take it with us to seed whatever God desires to do to bless the people of Kolkata.
We have been deeply touched in the last weeks as more and more generous gifts have come to us. Thanks to each of you, you know who you are. We have truly been made rich, but not for our sake. We are rich so that we can be generous.
We know that God already is at work in this special place. He is already loving these precious people. We are honored on your behalf to look for what He is doing and to support it financially as well as with our hearts and lives.

prayer from cousin Debbie - via Mom
ReplyDeleteDear Jesus,
Thank you that You have sent Your angels on ahead of Pete and Melissa. I pray for their protection, but most of all that Your anointing would lead and guide them in Your wisdom and grace. I pray for a revelation of the knowledge of who You are would invade India, especially the places Melissa & Pete's footsteps touch.
