"Growing up in India where fewer than 7% of the people are Christians, my heart was broken seeing the spiritual darkness that keeps my people from the truth. I saw the multitudes who have never heard the message of Jesus. India is closed to foreign missionaries, so we feel an even greater call to minister to these lost people through the native Indian pastors. Our prayer is that God will raise up Christians to stand with us in this work."

Dear Prayer Partners with SERVE India,
We have been having a good summer and enjoying time as a family. I have also been preparing for my next trip to India, which will be in October.
The situation with the shipment remains the same. The people in India who have been trying to work on it have continued [...]
Dear Prayer Partners,
I’m happy to be home again with my beloved family. My recent trip to India was the longest and most difficult trip I have taken, dealing with the release of the food shipment and with the death of my mother. I am very thankful for the many prayers that held me up and [...]
Hello everyone,
First, before we forget, we want to invite you to join us in celebrating David’s graduation! The open house will be Saturday, June 19th, 3-6pm, at our house, and, yes, John will be home for it! :)
He is not home yet, though, so we still have a few more days of praying for the food [...]
Dear praying friends,
The adventure continues! John is still in India, but the good thing is that it is because the storage director has started meeting to make a decision about the storage fee. It would be great if it could be completely taken care of before John leaves there. Since [...]
Hello All,
I was hoping to have the answer to what we have all been wondering… Did we get the food out of storage yet?
Well, I don’t have the whole answer, but part of the answer is that one of the directors of the storage facility did waive his part of the storage fee completely, [...]
Hello everyone!
I just finished talking with John and …
THEY RELEASED THE FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU, LORD!!!
It happened a few days ago (when we were really persevering in prayer!), and he just now finally had a chance to call. [...]
Dear praying friends,
Please continue to be earnest, unwearied and steadfast in your prayer for the release of the shipment of food packets! John is there at the customs office right now continuing to pursue whatever they are requiring of us. Please continue to pray for the Lord’s favor, guidance, and perseverance in getting [...]
Hello dear friends,
Hope your start to this New Year has been great so far! It is already going fast!
I was hoping to send this after I heard from John again, but I haven’t heard yet this week how it is going. He is still in India… the shipment is not yet [...]
Hello e-pray friends,
We are planning to send out our Prayer Letter soon, but just wanted to send out this quick note to you for now so you can be praying about a few things. We are so grateful for your prayer!
John was scheduled to return from India today, but he is still working on [...]
Dear friends,
We trust and pray that you are doing well. We thank and praise God for your partnership with us in the ministry of the Gospel. We are so thankful that we were able to send the container with the food and a lot of other useful things for the ministry and the people there. [...]
