Incense Rising in India

Until every nation sings
Hi, name is Bret Mavrich, and I've got an exciting trip coming up. 

Every since I was a kid, India has captured my heart and imagination. From comic books to a missions call on my life, this nation has arrested my attention. Now, I've got the opportunity to go there and make an impact.

At the end of February this year I'm headed to India with Sean Feucht, the director of an organization called Burn 24/7 . Sean is a worship leader and a missionary who has spent his life laboring to see worship arise from the church in the nations.  He's the real deal.

So we're going to go and help resource some of these "burn furnaces" across the nation. We'll be in five major cities including Mumbai, Bangalore, and Kolkata. In addition, we'll be serving the poorest of the poor in some slum areas. Worship, missions, and justice all belong together in the heart of God.

I'm thrilled to finally set foot in this great nation, and to be doing so for the first time with such a reputable organization that is making real impact.

My background
I've worked as a minister in the prayer and worship movement since 2005. I can't believe that I get to live in a time when God is causing worship of Jesus to arise from the ends of the earth, just like the Bible talks about. 

But I'm also a trained journalist. I've written award winning articles for a number of print magazines, and produced short video features as well. In fact, I wrote an article about Sean about a year ago. And if you've seen my work, you know I stick to one subject: I write about God in the world.

All that to say is that I'm excited to actually go and see what God is doing in India, to help resource and train the worship movement there, and then to tell the stories that help others get a clearer picture of what God is doing in the world.
