Pune, India.

So this past weekend has been the missions conference at my Church.  I went friday night to the banquet and thought it was great!  My heart is burdened and broken over the amount of people who die without ever having the opportunity to hear the Gospel and surrender their lives to Christ!  If I were able to go out tomorrow to work in the harvest (of India) I think I would!

You have seen me write before about my LOVE for India!  I have never been but my husband spent some time in Kolkutta and from his experiences and what I know about the people there the Lord has placed a deep love for the people of India in my heart.  I have a TON of allergies that seem to be a huge barrier to me ever being able to go there (at least for any length of time) but I am not going to count it out yet!

My pastor spoke at the end about our church being in the VERY beginning stages of organizing and cooridiating a team of people to go to Pune, India!  All  you have to do is say Pune and my heart melts.   Pune is the 8th largest city in India and is known as the "oxford of the east" having more colleges and universities than any other city in the WORLD!  I don't know the exact numbers but it has something like more people in that one city then the whole state of South Carolina.  Can you imagine!?!

Pray with me if you want to that this plan to send a team will be successful!  I am going to be praying that the that the Gospel would spread like wildfire through this city and in the universities.  These people are so precious.

  1. Hi Beth,
    I think this post is AMAZING! How neat that your hubby spent time in Kulkutta, India! I would also love to go on a mission trip, but my immune system and chemo meds hold me from doing so! I will join you in prayer and hope that your church's plan works to send a team to Pune, India! That would me AMAZING to spread the word through that city and into the universities!

    Have a Happy Sunday
