Hal Newell of GCI writes: I leave on a Medical and Evangelistic Mission trip to India with a group of four from our church and a larger group of about 60 people from all over the country to India from January 28- February 15. We will be doing medical clinics in rural areas and also crusades preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. I have two registered nurses and an athletic trainer on my team. Thank you for your prayers. We will be in the state of Andra Pradesh, flying into Madras. We will be doing our work in the city of Kora Kunda, about 800 miles north of Madras. We should not be affected at least from what I know at this point from the recent tsunamis in the areas that we will be traveling.
