The following is a comment from a person
who went on the most recent trip:Christina (my 12 year old daughter) and I had an incredibly rewarding experience during our visit to India. It was very uplifting to witness how Jesus was transforming lives and communities through the efforts of India Bible Literature (IBL). Nothing can compare to seeing the joy, love, and positive outlook evident in the children and adults we met at various IBL supported schools and churches. The growth in the number of believers was staggering - one school had grown from about 100 students to over 1,600 over the last 20 years (and dedicated three additional buildings while we were visiting); a church of 600 congregants (including 6 converted witch-doctors) with a school of over 400 children had blossomed in 10 years from a small group of 10 believers who met under a tree in a remote village that wasn't accessible by roads; other churches were dedicating their first building with a vision of reaching out to families and planting churches through the grace of God. Our lives have been forever changed as we reflect on the lessons we learned during our 12 day adventure. ~ Byron H., Alta Loma, California
