Why India? I have been asked several times during this trip and from people at home, why we were in India and Nepal.
We have several answers – our primary answer is that God opened the way for us to go. Another answer is that Adrian, Makaia and myself have been to India in the past and while we all loved it, we hadn't been to India together and so to go together with 3 of our 4 children was awesome opportunity that we couldn't pass up.
As a family we are in a stage of transition. We have been in YWAM for 17 years and believed that it is right time for us to step aside from the various roles that we have been engaged in during these years and see what other opportunities, ideas and doors open for us.
So for us, this adventure has been about exploring various parts of India and Nepal and enjoying some of the tourist sights but mostly its been about connecting with others who are working tirelessly in making a difference in the lives of many in India. We have made many new friends that we will be in contact with over the coming months and years – thank you for opening up your lives to us and letting us in.
We are going back home for a time of reflection and a time to catch up with other friends and family and share some of our ideas and thoughts.
Once some ideas become reality, we will keep you all posted so that you also can be part of the process.
In India I read a bill board that I thought was very profound. It said “How brave is your love”. Sometimes we need to be really brave to allow dreams and ideas to become reality.
Many thanks to you all for praying for us, reading our posts and encouraging us on our journey and adventure.
Blessings
Adrian, Juanita, Makaia, Jvarn and Azariah Ingham
