Over 70 missionaries met in India for a week long training event for the UofN in January. We met with each other, waited on God and reconnected with what God has been doing in this region of the world through so many faithful people dedicated to discipling through the University of the Nations.
It was wonderful to hear from so many who serve faithfully in the region as we taught, worshiped and interceded together for all that God was doing. We began with laying down what we were carrying so we could receive anew from God.
Many battles have been fought in the region spiritually and God was saying that wounded warriors needed to come back to find rest, receive healing and dream again of the future. We enjoyed celebrating together and God did a deep work in dealing with the affects of the caste system and educational wounding in many.
We may battle as warriors, but God calls us to come home to Him as sons and daughters. There was much to celebrate culturally too.
We started the week laying down what we were carrying at God's feet and then ended the week with the knowledge that just as we trusted God at the start he was now entrusting us for the future with the ongoing work of YWAM and the UofN in Asia. We are excited to see how God will bring growth to His work in this region of the world.
