India

So we've arrived safe in Delhi. It was 2am when we left the air port. We had a 30 minute drive to the hotel. The hotel is very nice, especially considering where it it is. Here's a shot from our hotel room:

Also, while flying from ATL to JFK, I reigned victorious at the in flight trivia game. Here's the proof:

I've been thinking alot about India lately. And here are some of the thoughts that just keep popping up in my head.

-40% of the worlds poor live in India.

-India is one of the most "un-reached" countries with the gospel.

-There's a common stat you hear sometimes about poverty, it's that around 26,000 children die every day due to preventable causes. These causes they are unable to "prevent" simply because of a lack of resources. If you do the simple math using my first thought and this one, that means that just over 10,000 children will day TODAY in India due to preventable causes. CHILDREN!!

I'm so proud to get to be a part of what Compassion is doing all over the world, specifically for this trip, in India. Literally, Compassion is everyday, connecting people like you and I who have more than we could ever need, with people who are considered the poorest of the poor. If you don't sponsor with Compassion, I urge you to do so by clicking here. If not with Compassion, it is your absolute duty as a believer in Christ to love the poor. "....whatever you've done unto the least of these, you have also done unto me...." So get to it. Compassion just makes it easy, super easy.

Last year I got to go to Kenya with Compassion, while there I attempted to define the 4 types of poverty on my blog. Here's a link if you're interested.

Have a good day. I'll be back.
