While in Kashmir, I had the opportunity to observe many things. I mostly met women, and I focused on learning as much as I could about them. However, while I was there, I also viewed some things about the men in Kashmir. There were three simple observations that I made while there. These are not [...]

When we surround ourselves with only other Christians, it is easy to loose sight of what makes our faith unique. We begin to take for granted the simple things of our faith. While in Kashmir, I was surrounded by people who needed Christ. Their lack of what I had made it glaringly obvious to me [...]

I learned a lot in Kashmir, and I am certain that I haven’t even begun to process through it all. Even if I could put everything into words, I don’t know where I would start. I am convinced that God is still, little by little, revealing kingdom principles to me. Only a few days into [...]
My Kashmir Experience

My time in Kashmir is over. What an adventure it has been. I can hardly wait to get home, but I wouldn’t change these priceless experiences for anything. From the first night and subsequent morning where I thought I would die of heartache to seeing the Himalayan mountains for the first time; from walking through [...]

Kashmir has an upper class, and in comparison to other parts of India, they are very rich. Only Kashmiri’s are allowed to own land here, and many own large three to four story homes.

“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew their ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.” Isaiah 61:4 02 05 09 Yesterday we walked through the marketplace. It was one of my favorite adventures on this trip. It was so alive with people selling anything and everything. [...]

“…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” Isaiah 61:3 29 April 2009 Today I saw [...]

28 April 09 “They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.” Isaiah 61:3 Kashmir is unlike any place that I’ve ever seen. It is an extraordinary display of God’s glory at the base of the Himalayan mountains. On the plane ride, I watched out [...]

27 April 2009 We are waiting at the airport to board our flight to Kashmir. We’ve been in New Delhi, and though it was an experience, it doesn’t feel like we are where we are supposed to be yet. I am anxious to see the beauty of God’s creation that I keep hearing about. Dehli [...]

As you may know, I am leaving on Friday to go to Kashmir, India. Kashmir is a beautiful state in Northern India, surrounded by some of the world’s highest mountain ranges, and has even been called “Heaven on Earth.” The people of Kashmir speak Kashmiri, and they are mostly Sunni Muslims. This area was [...]
