Going to India!

Hey everyone, remember how I went to India last December/January? Well I am going back this December/January! 

When I went with my Dad last time we were able to see all the churches that our missionary friend's ministry has planted and saw all that they are doing in that area. 
One of the biggest things that my Dad and I noticed at the churches we went to was that the churches that had youth involved in the services had so much more life and energy than the ones that didn't. 
So from seeing that, my Dad decided that next time we come we are going to put on a youth conference to encourage the youth in all the churches to step up and lead and be the example for the rest of the congregation and ultimately their towns and cities. To give them practical training for using sound systems and how to make things sound better. To empower them to serve. To teach them how to lead worship.

So that's what we are doing! We are going to put on a youth conference in India! We are bringing some more people with us this time to help us lead worship and speak at the conference. 
This is where we will be having the conference. The auditorium is the 3rd floor and the bottom two are dorm style rooms for people to stay in. It holds and houses a ton of people. (I would tell you the specific number if I could remember it:)

I'll update more when we have done more planning of details but what we do know is the conference will be 4 or 5 days long and I'll be there for about 2 weeks. The cost for me to go on the trip will be around $2500. 

If the Lord lays it on your heart to support me to go on this trip I would greatly appreciate anything that you can give. Even more than that I need your prayers. If you could be lifting up the trip and that the right people will come and that God will move in their hearts and that each student will leave more encouraged more passionate and more on fire for what God is doing than they came. 

I'm so excited for all that God is going to do!
