Dear Women of the World Partners,
What a wonderful time we had during our trip to India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Truly, the love of God is the most powerful force in the universe! On every stretch of our trip we felt the presence and potency of God's love. From the time we landed in central India and visited the boys at the House of Hope, to our time with our 80+ partners at the coast in Goa, then with our old friends at the People's Church in Sri Lanka, to our time with our new church planters in Bangladesh, did we encounter the presence and power of Jesus' love, not simply overflowing through us but also to us! What a privilege it is to be on a grand adventure with Jesus!
We just returned a couple days ago, and we have loads of pictures. This E-Newsletter will be filled with pictures that tell the story of God's children loving one another in a variety of ways! Dispensing His love through ministry one to another, prayer times, worship, encouragement, fellowship, gift-giving, and good old fashioned fun! Jesus was pleased as His children gathered, and His presence was evident in everything we did. Truly, the love of God expressed through us to one another is the most powerful and effective witness we can have to this world!

We could not do our Goa Retreat without our fantastic team! We are so thankful for the entire team that took time off work (and school) to travel to Goa, India and minister to our partners and their families! Part of the team flew from San Francisco and the other part flew from Seattle. They met in Doha, Qatar and then flew into Goa, India together. They were prepared and powerful! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
