FINAL REFLECTIONS ON THE TRIP

The final post on the blog is the thoughts of each member of the team of the trip

Sharmaine

In my role as team leader I could not have been blessed with a better team. They encouraged each other, comforted when it was required and all had their own role. Brian was the childminder and the children adored him. Brian also brought wisdom and discernment.
Ishbel was the prayer intercessor
John had the responsibility of updating the blog and gave words of encouragement to the staff at the Purnata Bhaven project. He also made us laugh.
David, along with John worked on the blog and saw to the travel arrangements.
Sandra, she came alongside the children in the each of the projects and church.
Finally, myself Sharmaine.
I prayed for my team bonding and for the projects and many other things.
Therefore, I feel I had many blessings from my first trip.
However, one thing will stand out and that was the humbleness of the people and their thirst for God. I do not think I could convey the privilege and honour it was for me to be able to pray over the people God put in front of us. I came away finding that my faith in God has been taken to a new level because of the Indian people’s lack of Western needs and love for God and desire to serve and honour Him.
Adam & Jo’s warm hospitality and thoughtfulness made this truly a memorable stay. God’s hand from start to finish was amazing and we could not have achieved any of it without his Holy Spirit direction and prompting.




David

The whole trip has been superb. The team have got on really well and kept healthy whilst God has used us to His glory, as we have been able to listen and to pray with folks that we have met. Adam & Jo have been such a pleasure to be with as we have been taken about and also whilst we have been at their home. I’m sure all the team would say that this trip has been an unbelievable , humbling and life changingexperience and one that they will never forget.





Sandra

The whole trip has been a great experience for me. I have loved every minute. God is good. He has used “my eyes to see how others” live, which I hope and pray He will continue to guide me through my life and use this wonderful time to bless others in the future. I have taken this as a learning curve for me.
I have enjoyed so much spending time with Adam & Jo and the children it has been such a pleasure I will never forget them. They will always be with me in my prayers and blessings.





Ishbel

What an experience on this India trip. Adam & Jo’s hospitality was absolutely superb. I have seen God move in a miraculous way in a Hindi speaking church and even though we could not understand the language, the presence of the Holy Spirit was very tangible. There are too many amazing things that I have seen to enhance my experience but the Lord has also worked in me personally and I know I will be coming home a changed person. The team were all incredible and we all bonded really well.




Brian

The time in India went nothing like I thought it would. Jo and Adam never went out themselves (editor – in spite of many requests to do so!) – enjoying our company too much they said. Saw God move miraculously in a Hindi speaking church. Got a more hands on physical overview of Adam’s work, which was great. All in all a blessing.





John

Visiting Adam, Jo and the kids in India has been absolutely fantastic. It was brilliant to be so at home with them in this foreign land. I have been truly overwhelmed by the work Adam and Jo are involved in within the local Hindi speaking population. God is the central focus of all the projects visited in which His love is so apparent and His presence so tangible. So humbling, deeply emotional and character building stuff. I want God to help me bless others through all these experiences, now and in the future. Can’t wait to see you Adam, Jo and co again. Thank you to God for taking the six of us to India to witness your Kingdom at work and calling us to be part of it. Amazing and unforgettable
