Mission trip progress

Hello family and friends, I am a few steps closer to India tonight as I write this blog (www.aboutdanscott.com). Tomorrow is the day I dread the most, SHOTS, yuk. The shots are bad enough themselves but that I have to pay for pain, it just doesn’t seem right. Also insurance does not cover them, so it will be costly. But my God supplies, someone that knew of my trip gave me $500 (in cash), that should cover the doctor bill for shots tomorrow. It is such an awesome thing, knowing you are in God’s will. The Lord has been providing for me at every step. When I bought my ticket to India, it was a step of Faith, over $1400 worth. I trusted God to provide and reminded Him of His promise (the Word says that we should remind Him of His promises), and less than 10 days later, someone gave me a check for…. you guessed it $1400.  And Pathways (my church) has pledged books, bibles and material for the children at the school during this time. And they may be able to help me with other costs for the trip or possibly the orphanage building. Our God is so good!! If any of you would like to help me with the trip, or send money for the school and orphanage please email me and let me know so I can plan accordingly. I still need to pay for hotels, one night in New Delhi at the Radisson Hotel ($160) and 15 days in West Bengal ( about $525 but also includes car rental). I know the one night in New Delhi is expensive but it is right by the airport and New Delhi is the capital of India plus I have a 12 hour layover there. The stay there will allow my body to get in sync with the local time. We still need almost $2700 to complete the orphanage building but that also includes the land. See www.joshimission.com for pictures and the progress of the building campaign. Well that is all for tonight, check back soon for more about my adventure with God.
