Loving greetings in the most glorious name of Jesus. I trust you are well and blessed!
I want to make you aware of some upcoming travel and events that you can keep in your prayers. I’ll be traveling for the next 10 days or so, maximizing my trip, partly because I have reduced my travel this year by the direction of the Holy Ghost. So, instead of taking three trips, I will be involved in three different ministry activities on a single trip. Here’s where I’ll be and what I’ll be doing:
Travel to Nagaland
- April 1, On my way to Nagaland I will meet with Domata India graduates in Kolkata to begin making preparations for our annual Nationshaker Conference, scheduled for the month of October. This year we are planning the conference to be held in Kolkata, where Domata India began, and where I first joined Pastor Kevin Cooley in October of the year 2000.
- April 2 – 3, We will gather with Domata India graduates in Nagaland’s capital city of Kohima. This is our annual “Naga-Shaker” meeting, which is a time for us to encourage graduates from our most heavily concentrated graduate area. Of the nearly 650 graduates well over 50% are from Nagaland, making this event a great opportunity for us to further equip and empower our graduates, many of whom are in full time ministry.
- April 4-7, I will teach in the Ambassador Academy extension school in Dimapur. We have 21 students this year from an unreached area of Assam. These are all young students who are getting ready to go into high school. This session of discipleship training lasts for just about 40 days, and gives us a wonderful opportunity to impact their young lives.
- April 8, Finally I will spend my last day with Life Bible School. This is a Bible School that one of our Domata India graduates started about 3 years ago. They have 14 students this year.
In all, I’ll be away from home for 10 days, and the being away from home part is not something I’m looking forward to, but I know God’s grace will be strong and fruit will be produced. I will greatly appreciate your prayers during this time, and look forward to keeping you updated along the way!
With love,
Mike Van Buskirk
