India Trip 2011- An Introduction

Orange Lutheran Missions Program is excited to embark on an 17 day journey to India! Our program is partnering with Promise Child to help spread the Gospel to the people of Northern India. Promise Child was founded by Pastor Brent Kaser in 1999 in effort to spread the Word to children in third world countries. OLu Missions answered God's calling, and began to sponsor several children in India, via donations from each theology classroom. In planning for the summer trip of 2011, the program felt that Christ was calling us to serve in India. Beginning in the spring of 2010, a team of over 30 people began to train and prepare for this trip. The time has finally come, where students, staff, alumni, and parents come together in the name of God, and travel to India.
