Confessions of an India Team Member: Les and Vel Rassi

Us, go to India? That’s a long way away from Indiana. Is this really our next step? It’s not really just a step it’s more like a leap….yeah, a leap of faith. God we’re just ordinary people, do you really want us to go to India? Well, OK God, we’ll go to the meeting and check it out. Hey, look who’s here, we know almost everyone. We went to Mexico and Benton Harbor with them. They’re just ordinary people too. God, I guess if all of them are willing to follow you to India then we should be willing too, but how will we know if this is really your will? For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10 NIV) Now we understand God, it’s part of your plan for our lives. Lord, we just want to allow You control. In our wildest dreams we never would have thought that His plan for us would include going to India but we’re willing and (almost) ready. He has given us the opportunity to go to India and he is sending friends whom we love and respect along with us. We know from past experiences that we will be able to do much more than build houses for tsunami victims. We’ll be able to share God’s love and develop new relationships. We are excited to see what God has prepared for us once we get there.
