A Word from Our FounderThe turning point of my life occurred after accepting an invitation to India from a friend that I met from a recent educational business trip. During my stay in India, I was amazed to see how beautiful the country is and also how hospitable the people are. Additionally, I was surprised to see that the caste system still existed. Many poor people live in huts built out of cow dung and leaves. After noticing the needs of these people, and wanting to do God's work outside the U.S., I realized that I needed to accept my call and dedicate my life to the mission field.
