India or Bust!

Patrick and Drew are heading to India today! We are excited for them, and we want to celebrate what they're doing. We appreciate their leadership in Austin Agape, and we look forward to learning from them when they return to us in the Fall.



So please have a wonderful time. Most of all, encounter people who you'll never forget. Stretch yourself and learn that you have gifts you might not have noticed before. Become even more fully the ministers that you are. We are proud of you, and we celebrate your gifts and meaningful intentions for others.


Here is a note from Patrick to us:

Drew and I, both currently pre-med, are going to be volunteering at Wanless Hospital in Miraj, India, for 6 weeks through an organization partnered with PCUSA called the Medical Benevolence Foundation (MBF). We will be learning a lot about clinical medicine, hospitals, and in particular CT (cardio-thoracic surgery) as the main guy we're spending time with there is the head of cardio-thoracic surgery (he's also chief superintendent of the hospital I believe, I may have gotten the title wrong, but he has a major administrative role at the hospital). I am looking forward to a great experience full of learning, personal growth, and relationship with new people and new ideas. Peace, Patrick.


Have a great time!
