Vineyard Church North Phoenix | Mission Trip to India

I just want to say how much of a blessing this India mission trip was for us. We had a fabulous trip and were humbled and blessed to serve God. He blessed us to be a blessing and that is a very humbling thing. If you are considering a future mission trip, I highly recommend it.

The thing that struck me the most; far more than the incredible architecture, the awesome colors, the incredible culture, the exotic scents and spices, and tantalizing food, was the heart of the people-our Christian brothers and sisters in Christ. They are so special and blessed by God. They live simple lives yet their love for Christ and for each other is the thing that strikes you the most powerfully as you meet and spend time with them. How can I possibly put into words that which is beyond description. For me personally, the Lord blessed me with more peace than I have ever magined was available for me. I hope to carry this peace with me as I return to the normal routine.

All I can say is that I am looking forward to the day I return and see each of them again, and excitedly look forward to meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ, as the India Vineyard churches grow and reach more people for the kingdom. Praise God!

I am blessed to see that there are some growing Vineyard churches in India. I recently returned from North India shooting a documentary about church planting in Punjab. What a blessing it is to see the work that is going on there. May the Kingdom of God continue to grow strong in India with your support.

Christina, you are absolutely right about the heart of the people. I am glad to have new brothers and sisters in India. I hope to return someday soon.

Peace, Rich
