Glory to God, my Jehovah Jireh

Johovah Jireh, the Lord my Provider, when I posted earlier tonight I had no idea He would show me so soon how He provides. This evening, a brother and sister in Christ from the church gave abundantly above and beyond what I could hope. Their gift will build a large part of the orphanage in India. I was overwhelmed by the gift, and seeing God work to complete His plan. I see more everyday that we do serve an awesome God, not just a song we sing in church kind of God, but a real personal God moving in our lives. When I was young I wanted adventure and excitement so I joined the navy to see the world. And I saw some of the world, but the real adventure and excitement is serving God with a true heart and seeing Him move in peoples lives. I pray God uses me to bring His Word to others, so that they can know my God in a real personal way. God is so good, all the time!!

God knows our needs and provides

Whew, the shots are over and I am only a little sore today. God is so good!! As I prepare for this trip to India I see His hand in even little things. He knew what I would need and when, and then has put provision in place for me at each step as I go. I have a meeting with Pastor Brad later this month, I know through the church, God will provide more for the trip. I am so happy because the less I need to spend for the trip, the more that I will be able to take for the orphanage building. It is similar to what Pastor Brad has been teaching on lately. I am helping to lay a cornerstone for the school, orphanage and church in India, so that many may come to know our Savior in a personal way.

Today I want to ask those of you that are reading this blog, and those that see it on Facebook to pray for me. Pray that I remain sensitive to His voice and obey Him in all things during this trip. That I keep my eyes on Him and not get my own ideas. That I do not put God into “my” box, but that I let Him move through me in His power, to His glory. And most of all Father God be lifted up through my obedience to His Word.

I put up a few more pictures today. You can look forward to more pictures from Joshi Mission, family and friends as I have the time to add them. That’s it for today, remember that Jesus is Lord.

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.

Mission Trip to India

dan — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:40:05 +0000

Well, I have stepped out in faith and purchased the ticket to India. I leave April 5th and return April 23rd. I have passport and Visa should be here next week. But I still need to get a medical check-up and vaccinations (yuk). I am still looking for donations for building the orphanage, so if you have some support money to spare, or feel lead by God to help, send it before I leave please.

During the trip I will post on this blog and post pictures so come back in April for updates. I am looking forward to seeing God’s hand at work when I’m there. Please include me in your prayers, that I may be used by God in mighty ways!!

Welcome to my place!
