Jill, one of the EFCA's multi-talented missionaries based at the national office in Minneapolis, recently experienced an incredible missions trip to India with a group from her church. Traveling to non-tourist areas, they were escorted by two Indian missionaries--attending as many church services as possible. The most prevalent hunger was for prayer. She described experiencing amazing open air church services. In one service attended by >100 people, congregants were seated on mats on the ground with bare lightbulbs strung with wire over their heads for lighting. Sensing strong spiritual warfare throughout the journey, the team persevered through prayer. They were blessed to be able to reach out through touch, eyes-joined-to-eyes in the spirit of kindred love for a Savior and kind voices of prayer.
Arriving back in the States, her journey continued to one of her supporting churches, The Orchard in Arlington Heights, IL. Briefly sharing of her visit to India, she was visiting with the members after the church service when an Indian woman introduced herself and asked specifically what cities Jill had visited. They discovered that half a world away the two Indian missionaries who escorted Jill and the group just happened to be this woman's son and daughter-in-law. What a GodSighting!
Yes, it's a small world--but clearly one where the dots are perfectly connected by God.
