The team is beginning their preparation for their return home. This is a time of mixed emotions, travelers have enjoyed the trip and have made many, many friends. The experiences have been awesome. Then at the same time our "delicate Western" bodies and emotions have taken a beating and we are looking forward to come home to family.
Past travelers speak of the crying as they say goodbye to new friends and to the orphans. The emotions of seening the kids smiles and seeing their waves can really tug at one's heart. Going home never felt so good, but they cry anyway.
Rev. Scott put it well after one of his past trips, "India was dusty and dirty, the travel was hard and arguous, your western sensibilities take a beating and ......I cannot wait to go back.
Safe Journey to our travelers, our prayers are with them.
About Good Shepherd Mission - India
- Good Shepherd Mission - WPCC
- In 1978 using their own home school teachers Henry Bahskar and his late wife Viola took in six poor school boys to live with them and created Good Shepherd Mission. The mission now has over 150 boys and girls in two different locations. In addition the mission has grown to include a General Hospital, daily medical clinics and dental services, immunization clinics, a home for seniors, and 15 rural village churches each staffed by an evangelist. All of the healthcare services are provided free of charge to the poorest of the poor of the area. The mission and it’s outreach depend on donations from people like you and me. Thirty dollars a month will sponsor a child, provide a cataract surgery, or support an evangelist. If you feel God tugging at your heart and encouraging you to help, you may make a tax-deductible donation to the Wyatt Park Christian Church, India Fund. The church guarantees that 100 percent of your gift goes directly to Good Shepherd Mission.
