India Missions
GO! India 2012!
"Missions is not
the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist
because worship doesn't." -John Piper
It is a great privilege and an amazing opportunity to be
involved with overseas mission work, and it is a joy to
consider that this summer we will spend ten weeks in the
North of India, serving alongside faithful missionaries who
have been laboring to bring the gospel to a people that has
mostly never heard of the King of kings. The Master's
College summer missions program has resolved to send
students every year all over the globe for the purpose of
furthering the Kingdom by assisting local missionaries in
their work. And our group, Davi Caldera, Mishaela Parker,
Kristen Botteron, Nate Hughes, Dorcas Kim, and Wagner
Floriani, is currently being prepared for this trip by The
Master's College Global Outreach program, as well as
partnering with our respective local churches toward this
endeavor.
India is a country run-down by poverty, disease, and
false-religion. Specifically in North India, Hinduism is
prevalent, and Islam is a strong cause for conflict in the
area. Additionally, in a society that essentially instituted
the caste system, where people are categorized into higher
or lower social classes based on Hindu tradition, the people
of India have been oppressed under a false reality which
they claim as truth for a few thousands years. This nation,
in the North especially, is considered to be a mostly
unreached nation. Meaning: most of the people in the country
have never seen a Bible, heard of Jesus or the gospel, or
even seen a Christian.
In the beginning of summer, team India will be receiving
and intensive training in Hindi, Indian culture and history,
and ESL before beginning this trip. And during our time
there we will be involved in leading various different
outreach activities such as ESL classes, music classes, and
soccer camps. The agency sending us will continue to equip
us throughout this trip so that we are enabled to share the
gospel more effectively in all our different outreach
settings. Our goal is to be blessing to the missionary
families that will host us, and be able to assist them in
their ministry in any way possible as co-laborers for the
gospel! At the end of the day, our prayer is to see people
coming to a saving knowledge of Christ and worshiping the
true God of the Scriptures!
