Returning to India

As many as you know, following the passing of my late wife Mary Ann in 2020, God called me to a unique outreach to India. A group of Pentecostal pastors had been searching for more knowledge of the historic Church and found it in Orthodox Christianity. I volunteered to instruct them in weekly Zoom sessions that continue to this day. They also asked me to come to India in December of 2021. I am not exaggerating when I say I traveled thousands of miles by car, motorcycle, bus, train and airplane to urban areas and remote rural villages to share my knowledge of Orthodoxy. The pastors honored me when they asked me to preach and pray for the people wherever I went. This year the travel plans are more ambitious and will cover the entire nation. India is the most populous country in the world with an amazing culture and history. We are planning 5 seminars with an anticipated 100 pastors attending each one. We pay for their food and fuel to travel sometimes great distances to attend. I want to thank everyone so much who supported me when I went in 2021. I wish I could have provided more information about my activities. However, for security reasons I thought it wise not to. Again, I ask your support and prayers for such a venture. Total expenses will exceed $5,000, which is not a lot when one considers what we will accomplish over one month. Thank you for being a part of this outreach. You bless me.
