We had a great meeting with the rest of the team about a week ago and are excited to be receiving something of an itinerary very soon! The purpose of the itinerary is for us to be able to share with you how we might be serving on any given day so that you can pray along with us for the duration of our trip.
That said, please keep in mind that whatever plans are in place prior to our arrival in India will be VERY flexible and are subject to lots of changes!
I (Shannon) dropped off my application at the Indian consulate in Brampton this afternoon in a process that was both quick and relatively easy! Sarah, on the other hand, has to apply through the U.S. (given that she's a citizen of the U.S. and not of Canada) and has, as a result, come up against a number of small (but still frustrating) hiccups along the way. Please join us in asking God to overwhelm her with His peace as she waits for the safe return of her passport (sooner rather than later!) along with the approval of her VISA application.
Finally, we have raised just over half of the funds that we need to raise and are looking forward to hosting a delicious dinner (Indian food!) on Saturday, Sept 29 at 6pm, at the Church on the Rock building in Hamilton (2149 Upper James). Please pray that God would be with us in the planning and preparation for that night and that He will help us to effectively share our hearts and our vision for this trip with those who attend.
If you are interested in attending the dinner, please contact us at GoingToIndia2012@gmail.com!
Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support!

We are currently in the process of applying for our VISAs and getting our immunizations, etc. and we would SO appreciate your prayers that both Sarah and I (as well as the rest of our team) will be approved and that our passports (with VISAs!) will be returned to us quickly."You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail." - Proverbs 19:21 (NLT)
