Coimbatore and New Delhi, India // February 9-20 2010
Generation Interns // The City Church
Our trip began with flights from Seattle to Seoul, Korea, to Mumbai, India, then to Coimbatore, India. The total travel time was over 30 hours.

Everywhere we went, the people were so welcoming and hospitable! We were often greeted with flowers, blessings, hugs and kisses. The people of India are full of joy and love, and they treated us like royalty! At an elderly service, the congregation raised their hands and cried
out to God for healing in their bodies.
We drove to a village in the mountains of Coimbatore and met multiple
Christian families who were anxiously awaiting a church to be built near
them. They were so full of life and their adorable children were very
well-photographed!
In Indian culture, the women cover their heads during prayer and
church services, so we did as well. The guys on our team got a kick out
of this and suggested we do this in America. I’m thankful we don't have

It was so precious to watch the children pray with such passion! What an awesome treat to be able to see one of the 7 Ancient Wonders
of the world! We flew to New Delhi for the last 2 days of the trip and
got to tour the Taj Mahal!
A personal highlight for me was meeting Theresa and Marta at an orphanage. My parents have financially supported Marta for several years, and I am now supporting her best friend, Theresa, as a result of this trip. The memories I made and the people I met in India I will hold in my
heart forever!
