Some early results of the trip...

Seeing the results of a mission trip can sometimes be a tricky undertaking. Obviously, those who participated - the goers - experience life change as a result of their experiences, but what about the missionaries, local pastors and communities where the goers ministered? Did their presence and their work make a difference? Did they do what Christ commanded: to make disciples? (After all, isn't that really the point?)

Well, if this initial report from Richard Fields is any indication, then the answer is a resounding YES!

A note from Richard:

We met with Marshal today and he says there has been 6 new families that have started attending the Gangtok church because of the clinic. Praise the Lord! Just the beginning of what all the Lord will do through what has been done. Thank everyone and spread the great news! Also, he has started two new churches in the Gangtok area. Many have to travel long distances to get to the Gangtok church so he has started two others in different areas so people will not have to travel as far to go to church!

 

We have not heard new news from the doctor.

Until all have heard...
