Some last words from our leaders...

Hey India Team!

Well, I’m sure by now everyone is back at work, & hopefully, eating & sleeping normally. Rabbit trail… anyone still a little sick? The Braud house is S-T-RUGGLING… It’s amazing what a little bad Indian food can do to somebody!!!!

Anyway, I must say we had a great time! This team was probably the best team we’ve ever led. I have such a huge respect for each & every one of you. The relationships formed, words spoken (especially Adam Bartlett’s “Come on somebody!” while he was preaching), time spent ministering, and even the toilets hugged have left us with great memories & a fresh fire!

I’ve been thinking about the team lately & re-living those God moments we all had, and it makes me think of the story when Jesus feeds 5000 people. At the beginning of the story, the disciples are so focused on their inadequacies / insecurities, but Jesus pushes them into a realm of trusting Him & seeing the supernatural firsthand. I think each of us can relate… It seemed before we ever left for India, we were a bunch of nervous, inadequate disciples boarding a plane and by the time we returned, we can truly say, we have seen God move in the supernatural…. I’m in awe of how every one stepped out of their comfort zone & chose to trust God in front of thousands of people. You have truly inspired Adam & I…

Sooooooo with all the mushy stuff outta the way, all this “inspiring” has earned you all nick names. Here goes…
