My Worst Road Trip Ever
I’m not going to lie. Today was a difficult day.
I’ve been sick as a dog for the past 24hrs. I’m talking the kind of sick where you start praying those crazy prayers. Those “God I promise I’ll never…God if you get me through this I’ll do whatever you want… I’ll even go to India and be a missionary.” Oh crap, I’m already a missionary in India so I guess I got nothing.
Against the advisement of some wise people I chose to go on today’s excursion. Trust me when I say the video WILL NOT do it justice. We took the bus as far as we could go and then jumped on rickshaws. The only good thing about this road trip was the company (Keely on the way there, and Melissa on the way back) and the incredible project where we eventually arrived. It was a child survival project which focuses on helping moms with their newborn through 3 year-old children.
The whole way there I kept thinking, Where in the heck are we going? This is truly the middle of nowhere. I was reminded of this verse in Acts…
Acts 13: 47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us:
” ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles,
that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’ “
Today more than 26,500 children will die of preventable causes related to their poverty. And guess what? It will happen again tomorrow… and the next day… and the next. Around 10 million children will be dead in the course of a year.
How do we live with this? How does this not dominate our minds?
Because for the most part it happens on “the ends of the earth.” Let’s be honest. We simply have less empathy for people who live faraway. Richard Stearns said, “Our compassion for others seems to be directly correlated to whether people are close to us socially emotionally, culturally, ethnically, economically, and geographically.”
This makes total sense. It’s why if you hear a child was killed in a car accident you might find it sad, however if the child was one that lives in your neighborhood…one you saw on a regular basis…one who you knew the name of…it would stop you dead in your tracks.
We’re numb toward “the ends of the earth” and yet God has clearly called us to go there. And not JUST go there, but go there with His light.
You might not be able to jump in a rickshaw and take the “road trip” I took today, but you can be God’s light here. You can go to “the ends of the earth” right now, RIGHT HERE.
You can make a difference.
**I just heard Tuesday was the largest single day of child sponsorship for any Compassion blogging trip ever. You guys are the best.**

Pete…First of all..praying for all the stomachs that are a little upset.
And..you have just brought “the ends of the earth” to life. I can’t get it out of my mind.
Thank you Pete. Thanks to all of you. We CAN make a difference. Praying for the hearts of new sponsors and for all the children that need sponsors.

Thanks for bringing us to the ends of the earth. I’m praying for all of the sickness going around.
After the clip of the harrowing rough ride (which I cannot imagine actually doing if I was sick), it was beautiful to see the smiling mothers and children waiting to greet y’all. It must have made the ride worth the toll it took on you (or at least I hope it did).

Pete,
I agree that we disassociate with those problems that are ‘out-of-sight’. While you guys are busy being Light there, you are also shedding light here.
Tell your whole team that there are ’strangers’ on this side of the pond who are cheering them on.
Go be Light!

So sorry you are ill – praying for you to better and stay well. The video really shows what you said and quoted about ‘the ends of the earth’ it does appear that you are out in the middle of the jungle. What you said is true about us having empathy for our neighbors – but God calls us to have empathy for all!! Bless you heart for continuing on this journey even though you are not feeling well. I know that you are blessing these children and the adults as well as how they are an incredible blessing to you!

Hey Pete!!
I am loving all the bloggers updates as they describe each day…my husband and I went to India 2 months after we were married and it changed our lives. I often wonder about the many children we visited in the orphanages. We are close friends with Dr. MA Thomas, with Hopegivers International and that is who hosted us and it was just so amazing!!! I was just telling my husband last night how every single update I read I just look at all the pictures with tears streaming down my face because it is just something you never ever forget, those sweet faces!!! I dream of taking our own children someday when they are old enough to truly understand it all.
We are praying for you all daily!!!!
In Christ’s love,
Abi Byrd
Also, I have been praying for Brandi as she is single-moming it!!! And for your stomach…I got a bit of that too!!! It will get better!!!!!!
Blessings!!!

Dear Pete,
My prayers are with you for “your sick stomach to calm down in Jesus name…Yes! LORD, for your son and servant Pete, and to Your glory Father.” Pete, God bless you for what you are doing in giving us “Siesta’s” over at LPM blog a chance to see, hear and experience the sights, sounds and smiles of India!(We are spared the smells and the heat…) Praise God one smart sister on the LPM Blog shared with us about your blog and I am so grateful for what you are doing to make this so real for we prayer warriors who are back here in air-conditioned homes, and needed a little taste of what you are coping with! Melissa has driven us all to our knees in prayer, and by extension all your Compassion team of Bloggers on mission in India. To have yesterday be the biggest day of child sponsorship for a Compassion trip ever is a direct answer to prayer! And you are such a big part of that. God bless you for being willing to pay the price and show us God’s love in action. I was especially touched by the simplicity of Mother Teresa’s humble room, and her expansive heart that has changed the course of history for her beloved India. My heart went out to you with the “worst road trip ever”, but thankful for the snippets of reality that we don’t get to see unless someone goes and puts the effort in that you have to get the message out, and a picture is worth a thousand words. God bless you Pete, I will be following your blog everyday now, and you can be assured of the power of prayer to supply your need through the Spirit of Jesus Christ. (Phil. 1:19)
In Him,

BTW, you made all your/us viewers motion-sick as well with your travel-cam, so thanks for sharing! As for other sights, do you feel like you are back in the Book of Acts yet, Pete? God is opening doors and your eyes I can tell. I’ll pray harder today for you all.

I have such a heart for missions and hope to be able to go to “the ends of the earth” one day too. Praying for you, the entire team, and all of the sickness going around.

This post reminds me of the song Hosanna, during the bridge when it says “Break my heart for what breaks yours.” It is so true that most of the time we just choose not to think about the poverty, helplessness and agony that so many in third world countries are experiencing. Because we don’t want to go there and be broken for those individuals. Can you imagine what would happen if EVERY person who truly loves Christ opened their eyes and allowed God to break their hearts towards those who are suffering? Not just in their homes but in the world? To be, as Kay Warren declares in her book “Dangerous Surrender”, utterly and devastatingly ruined??
So many more would see Christ. So many more.

Long time lurker, de-lurking so to speak. I’ve followed your blog for a while (if I lived in Nashville I would so go to your church!) and I even participated in your 28 day challenge. After reading the stories from you, Angie and all the other bloggers I told my husband over dinner tonight we had to sponsor a child in India. He agreed and we both couldn’t be more excited. I work for a very famous church here in London and have even created advertisements for our church board highlighting Compassion. Until I saw what you are experiencing first hand, I never really realized how much of a difference sponsorship could make. I honestly always thought those organizations were a bit of a scam, but I am HAPPY to say I’ve obviously been proved wrong (don’t tell the husband). I can’t wait to get our packet and “meet” our child!
Many prayers for you and all the other bloggers.

I am an Indian and I’m wondering how come you guys didn’t just take a cab all the way.People use rickshaws for short trips and also coz it’s cheaper.A cab is so much better.So why put yourselves through all that especially when you are not used to it.
In the States you have to pay a lot of money for everything,India is much cheaper comparatively….so why not just take a cab?

Whenever you get a chance you should buy the documentary Glue Boys. It is a very touching look at the children in Africa who are addicted to toxic glue. They sniff it to pass out in the streets so they will not feel hunger pains or the cold at night.
In the video they show a comparison of a 2 & 4 year old that is abducted in America and the Amber Alerts, etc. that go out for them, however in Glue Boys, a 2 & 4 year old set of brothers’ parents die from AIDS and they have to literally raise themselves, eating out of the trash, roaming the streets alone, etc. It puts a lot of stuff into perspective.
