The details of our trip are coming together easily, thanks to the efforts of the team members that have gone in previous years. As a team, we still need to raise about $5,700! God has provided sufficiently and quickly for some of us, and will provide for the rest in his will. We had a late comer to the team, so much of the funds still needed are for her. But we all have a specific role in this journey, and He has already given hints as to how He will use each of our gifts.
We will take a day trip to visit the Taj Mahal as a personal, tourist time for the team. But we will also take a 2 day trip with some of the older girls from the home, to the Darjeeling Tea Farm, by train, and will be staying overnight to visit a zoo the following day! Though I'm a bit concerned about the zoo and the conditions that the animals my be kept in a foreign country, this will be an AMAZING time of fellowship and bonding with these girls.
We leave for India in approximately 6 weeks, and our funds are due in 2! There are 9 of us going, so it is not quite as overwhelming as it sounds. Thank you so much to family and friends who have found it in their hearts to give funds for this trip. Lives will surely change, including mine. I have reached my personal goal of fund raising, but if you would like to give in support of the team and to help pay for our Tea Farm trip with the girls, please send checks payable to Victory Church with “Jamie Forberger-India Missions Trip” written in the memo line. Mail your gift to Victory Church 1827 Freedom Road Suite 103 Lancaster, PA 17601. You will receive a receipt of your gift in the form of a Year End Giving Statement from our Finance Department.
