Subject: Starfish: Special Edition - Your Help is Needed - March05, 2005



Make a Ripple ??“ Make a Difference

As you know, this is our slogan.  I??™m going to try to ???Make a Difference??? this spring by joining a mission team that will be visiting the northern reaches of India.  Less than 3% of the population there is Christian, but they have a hunger to learn more.  Our team of about 12 members will be teaching them about Jesus and Christianity.

The doctors have given me a ???green light??? and the other obstacles have been cleared.  But I need your help.

I just need to raise about $4000.00 for the cost of the trip.  That??™s where you come in.  You can make a ripple too, by supporting me in this endeavor. 
 

If you are led to make a tax-deductible donation to help defer costs, you can send your check payable to Brooklyn Park Lutheran Church (BPLC for short) to:
 

Brooklyn Park Lutheran Church
c/o Bob Johnston
7275 122 Av N
Champlin, MN 55316

Put ???Bob ??“ India Mission??? in the memo section of your check and it will be earmarked for this trip.

You may also choose to make your donation electronically through the services of PayPal.  It isn't necessary to have a pay pal account, and you may use your checking account, savings account or credit card.  Its quick and it's simple.  Just click a "Donation" button below and follow the onscreen instructions.

Whether its $1 or $1000, your financial support will be greatly appreciated. I will be blessed and I know you will too.  The people of India will also be blessed by your support.  You really CAN make a ripple that will be felt around the world.

Scroll down for more information about the trip and photos of the area we will visit.

When I return, you can count on a detailed report on this important mission trip, right here in Starfish (or Sand Dollar, or Driftwood, depending upon the audience) 

Can you help?

The mission team will work with the directors of North India Community Outreach in Himachal Pradesh in the Himalayan foothills.  See the map at the bottom of this page.  Shimla is marked in the northern part of the map.
 

We will explore Indian culture in visits to cultural sites, Hindu and Buddhist shrines, and through visits with Hindu families and community leaders.

We will participate in friendship evangelism, take part in a leadership conference, worship with Indian Christians in their homes, and travel to small rural villages on outreach events and prayer walks.
