Best Highlights!

Here it is: An after the fact blog of the first ever trip from Sterling to India. Some highlights for me, Will Best, Team Leader are:1. The SC Team stepped to many challenges again and again. One such time was at our first Sunday morning worship when the ladies got up to sing"Here We are to Worship." Almost immediately, the church drummer began the rhythm to accompany the team. This was a surprise to the singing lassies. They had an instant to decide what to do. After a smile or two, the team found its place with the faster drumming and finished strong!It was a meeting of music, culture and people in worship and praise to God. It was prophetic of the entire trip as this kind of thing happened again and again.
2. A second high point for me came during one of our"on-the-way-back-in-the-bus" debriefings. Normally, each person would share a high and low point of the day or the just completed experience.For the first week or so, heat, stomach issues, and fatigue were frequent low points. Then one evening it happened. Nothing had really changed. It was still hot, people had tender tummies, and we were still tired. But no one had a down moment! We had overcome the challenges and focused on the ministry and positive leaning times!
3. I've got nothing but praise for ICM India and Global Infusion for their leadership and helpfulness in taking care of the details of the half-way-around-the-world trek. Doing this groundwork before and during our stay helped us engage the work, the people, and God more quickly and serve well. I'd do it again!
4. I'd like to thank all who have prayed and I hope still are praying for us and for India Christian Ministries, our contact organization that we served there. I'm convinced even more how important prayer is. It's not just important is vital!
