Passage to India

Proverbs 16:9
A man’s heart plans his way, But the LORD directs his steps.
or as I like to say
"Man proposes but God disposes" - Thomas A. Kempis

I had planned to go on all the fall ventures with rēp this year, but that will not be the case.
I recently started a new job back in the software industry though in a completely different role than before and therefore have more limited flexible time.

All is not lost though, I will be off to India in November and will still need assistance with getting there and going through the venture ( Nov 12th - 23rd)


I have had a wonderful 6 months experiencing being free-falling in Christ;
- trying to hone my life vision,
- figuring out what to do to make it happen
- and what my next steps are... ( still need more work :))

I actually experienced a lot of the clichéd saying I used to mouth off such as "a friend in need is a friend indeed", learnt a lot about myself and the people around me. I hope I am a better person for the time of reflection and am committed to taking that with me as a part of who I am now so I can continue to grow.

In the short term, I am excited that I get to go to India this fall on another venture and can't wait to meet all the local consultants and the new clients and see what God is going to do with them in the condensed time.
At the same time I get to experience a new job, meet new people locally and see what God is going to do there too; a double whammy :)

HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:
Prayer:
I need a team of at least 10 people to sign up and agree to pray with/for me regularly through the venture.
- Wisdom as I participate in consulting with clients on issues that have far-reaching implications for the success of their families, lives, and businesses
- Protection while travelling to and during the ventures
- Physical, mental and emotional strength and stamina

Air mileage donations:
I am looking to cover airfare to India and will fly on any airline I get enough mileage on. Please email me back if this is how you wish to help.

Finances:
All donations of cash, company stock and checks are 100% tax deductible. Please see below for how to make a donation in any of these formats as well as Paypal.

Cupcakes:
Order Organic cupcakes ( lowfat options available). The proceeds will go towards my trip in addition to you having a happy tummy :) Shipping costs additional.

Thank you always for your support and just for being there.

Why do you need donations for the India trip if this is a work related event??? Shouldn't your company be footing the bill? Or what am I missing?

Hi Jason,

Not sure which Jason this is, but no the trip is not related to my work at all.

It is completely on a volunteer basis though still in a business arena.
I am going with a group known as rēp...
