Snooze India team (Joy and John not in picture)

Snooze India team (Joy and John not in picture)

One of our bands, Snooze has just left for India this evening (11 Dec 2009)!

It’s been a whirlwind one-month-plus of preparation for the band, as they will be doing different kinds of programs for different campuses. The team comprises 5 CreaComm staff members (Joy, Dotz, Evon, Haiks and John Rajan) and 6 volunteers (Melvin, Michelle, Crystal, Andrew, Noel and David). They’ll be doing a total of 5 gigs in Kolkata city itself, and 2 gigs in Bhubaneswar, another city in West Bengal.

Below is our itinerary for the days ahead. We covet your prayers for them as it will be a pretty packed schedule, and quite a number of them have had a busy week just before this, at church camps, mission trips and such.

Please pray for:

  • 1. Good health, strength, and quick adjustment to the weather there
    2. Team unity, love and joy as we serve together
    3. WIsdom and discernment to make decisions, esp for team leaders Melvin and Michelle
    4. Openness to the culture there, and quick adaptation to any differences we might encounter
    5. Good communication with India CCC staff and students
    6. God to bless every campus we go to, and to use us to share His love with the students there.
    7. Spiritual Protection and alertness, safety in all our travels
    8. Faith in God’s goodness and sovereignty at all times.
    9. We’ll live out our theme verse from Zechariah 4: 6 ” Not by might, not by power, but by His Spirit.”
    10. Pray that the eyes and hearts of the Indian students will be open to know the love, grace and hope of the one true living God

Here is their concert schedule:

  • 11th Dec – Depart for India
  • 12th Dec PM – gig@Doa Bosco (Evangelistic)
  • 13th Dec PM – gig@Nagaland Church (pre-E)

social-media1Much is abuzz on about Social Networking, and how and where it connects with life & ministry.Β  Here’s a few links to articles that will generate some thinking (and perhaps some engagement) on our part as we consider Internet Evangelism or Online Ministry. Tell me what you think… Post a comment.

3. “Is Online Community Real?” asks Justin Wise
“It’s not that the question is wrong, per se, it’s that the question is irrelevant. It’s a question that’s already been answered,” says Justin Wise.
