India 2009

In the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, a young boy from the slums of India becomes a millionaire and leaves the slums. In contrast, we consider ourselves "Slumdog Missionaries" using our resources to go the slums of India, where we love every minute of it.

We traveled to India early this year. While we were there, we ministered at four separate pastors' and leaders' conferences. Each conference was located in a different remote village and lasted 3 full days.

Pastor Terry also prayed over and commissioned the graduates of Alpha Bible College. These students know they must be willing to pray, preach or die at any given moment. They took their call very seriously.

There were also times of ministering to specific national ministers who needed much encouragement.

Pastor Terry was asked to preach at the mother church of Alpha ministries and was greeted by his great friends of over 20 years. Here is a picture of Pastor Pat with Dr. Matthews Cherion, the founder of Alpha Ministries.

Pastor Pat was invited to minister to 53 children with Hindu background at a bible study.

During this trip, God far exceeded our expectations of His faithfulness! Here is a video of one of the passionate worship services.
