I'm headed for India this week to help forge a national church planting strategy. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to equip 50 Indian nationals in biblical church planting principles and then coach them through the process in the weeks and months ahead.
God is REALLY moving in the Sub-continent and I feel humbled to be a part of that in some way. See the map to the left - find India and you'll notice that its almost all red. Red represents < 2% evangelical. 1/6 of the world's population lives on the Indian sub-continent and it is less than 2% evangelical. But I am not without hope! I believe that the Holy Spirit of God is raising up people there and preparing them for an amazing outpouring of grace through the rapid advance of the Gospel.
Pray that I be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and that I serve the nationals in a way that exemplifies the love of Christ. Pray that the churches there will do what all churches were created by God to do - reproduce after their own kind - to the glory of Jesus!

Drew Grubbs told me that the largest Christian youth group in the world was in India, with over 6,000 youth.
I've heard other great things about God working there...
I'm headed to Costa Rica this summer with some youth.
George - Hope you'll be able to post some updates while there. Hopefully, I'll be able to go with you the next time (and then continue to go).
Take care,
Tom Jaski
