Heading To India

[rexvol]

this saturday for a mission trip. I went last year, but this trip is going to be different. This time my wife, who is 7mon pregnant, and my 19mon old daughter are staying behind. I am headed to Ambala first to preach salvation messages for a week and then to Delhi to feed the street children in the slums. Last year I was able to preach to quasi-believers in Nagaland, but this will be my first time to preach to total unbelievers who dont even have a frame of reference for Jesus. Also, Im a little worried because of the Hindu violence toward Christians, which has ramped up considerably lately from what Im hearing. I would appreciate all your prayers. Below are some pics from last year.

don't you think if these people wanted to know about Jesus, they would have found him already?

it's been 2000 years since the guy walked the Earth. surely somebody has already tried to talk to them about this.

[rexvol]

While I agree with you, I think if rex wants to go over there talk to them about tropical skittles, I encourage him to do so. No matter what one believes, it's a noble thing just to care about people in poverty on the other side of the world.

without question.

but to force your beliefs on them in exchange for some food? c'mon. sounds like blackmail.

It's not every day you see some peasant with a yellow beach towel wrapped around his head in the presence of a 4-armed pink elephant god. Seeing that alone is probably worth the trip to India.

Im teaching at a bible college, preaching at an open revival, and handing out food to people that dont speak English. All in three different locations. Explain to me how thats blackmail?

 

[rexvol]

Doozer, you should just be thankful I will be off the board for 2 weeks.

so you aren't going to be preaching the gospel when you hand out the food?

 

[droski]

sounds like a threat to me.

 

[doozer]

Doozer, you should just be thankful I will be off the board for 2 weeks.

why? you going to e-punch me in the face tough guy? that's not very Christian of you.

and trust me, i am thankful you'll be off the board for 2 weeks. can it be longer?

 

[IPorange]

Wow. There must be some history I am unaware of. Seems like there are a lot of assumptions going on.

more like a lot of hypocrisy.

 

[IPorange]

more like a lot of hypocrisy.

Care to elaborate?

 

[doozer]

Care to elaborate?

of course.

for example, clamming to be worthy Christian person in one post and then threatening physical harm on a person in another.

yeah, i'm sure they're all going to be there just to hear you force your beliefs onto them. i bet none of them who are starving will be there to eat.

 

[IPorange]

I think you are seriously stretching things, here...

 

[doozer]

I think you are seriously stretching things, here...

this is a pattern, not an isolated incident.
