India Adventure
Jan. 17 - Jan 30, 2010
A team of youth from the Northern Illinois Synod will travel with other
youth from Scandinavian countries, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia to celebrate
the 30th anniversary of youth ministry in Arcot Lutheran Church, India.
ALC is one of two Companion Synods of the Northern Illinois Synod, the
other being Tanzania. One thousand youth will gather in an outdoor camp
setting from January 22-26. They will participate in many activities in
the beautiful Kalvarayan Hills in the southernmost part of the Indian
Peninsula. The team will leave for India on January 17 and return on
January 30. They plan to visit Delhi, the capital of India, to see Taj
Mahal in Agra. Then, they will head south to the region of Tamil Nadu,
the location of ALC. The group will attend a leadership seminar and will
volunteer at the Danish Mission Hospital.
Russ Senti was tapped to go to India as part of the delegation from
Northern Illinois Synod Youth Team. Please pray for safety and good
health for the team and that God will be lifted up and glorified in all
their words and actions.
