Embark on an Unforgettable Journey
INCREDIBLE INDIA!
“Incredible India!” It’s a common saying here. Ask anyone who has visited this amazing land, and they will tell you it is a place of incredible contrasts.
Today, I am especially aware of those contrasts—the diversity, the complexity, and the beauty of this country. With 5,000 years of recorded history, India’s people reflect the richness of the past through their culture, traditions, customs, and food. Much has changed, yet so much remains uniquely the same.
I have been traveling this road for more than twenty years, and what an incredible journey it has been!
On the surface, India is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. As I write this letter, I am sitting in a small beachside café, watching the sun set over the Arabian Sea while sipping a glass of freshly pressed pineapple juice. Incredible!
The colors here are some of the most vivid you will ever see, with combinations and contrasts found nowhere else quite like this. Everywhere you look, there is beauty, fun, and color.
But beneath the beauty lies another reality—the darkness that so often goes unseen.
Today, as I walked down the street, I saw preparations for a festival featuring a twenty-foot statue of a god depicted in the act of killing. The celebration represented traditions and beliefs that are deeply rooted in this culture. Oh, the contrast of this incredible India!
Isn’t this just like our enemy, the deceiver? He disguises what is dark and ugly with beauty and fun.
I see this same contrast in the women we serve. They are beautiful, from their colorful clothing to their sweet smiles. Yet when I look beyond the surface and into their eyes, I often see the sadness, pain, and darkness they carry.
We are here to bring the Light of Jesus into that darkness. God has called us to help the brokenhearted, proclaim freedom for the captives, and bring release from darkness. He has called us to comfort those who mourn, to give them beauty instead of ashes, joy instead of mourning, and praise instead of despair.
What a privilege it is to be part of what God is doing in the lives of these women and children!
Thank you for the incredible ways you have joined us on this journey. Your prayers, generosity, and support allow us to continue sharing the love of Jesus and bringing hope to those who need it most.
And if you would like to join us in person, your next opportunity is coming!
May 21–June 4, 2027
Check out the details on our website! We will be serving women and children through prevention programs in two areas, building relationships, sharing hope, and putting our faith into action.
As I think about this opportunity, I am reminded of the song “The Great Adventure” by Steven Curtis Chapman. Its message captures the excitement of following God wherever He leads and stepping out in faith to discover what He has planned for us.
What if we truly embraced the adventure God has placed before us? What if we were willing to step beyond what is comfortable, follow His leading into the unknown, and trust Him to guide our steps?
The journey may take us over mountains and through valleys, but through it all, we can discover the incredible things God can do when we say yes to Him.
Incredible India—join us on this journey!
Together, let’s bring His light into the darkness, His hope into despair, and His love to those who need it most.
With gratitude and excitement for the journey ahead,
Vicki
