Justin Mission Trip to SOUTHEAST ASIA

Justin Routh with Mercy Hill Church - Greensboro, NC

Dear Friends and Family,

I want to thank you for taking the time to read the following letter. I am beyond excited and thankful for the opportunity to Go on a mission trip in early 2018 through Mercy Hill. Along with 5 brothers in Christ whom I am so thankful for, the Lord is calling us to go and take the Gospel to the nation of INDIA.

Back in 2016 I had the opportunity to go to India with one of these brothers and man did God do something HE could only do. THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY broke me. He broke me to see the vast amount of people who just do not know Jesus. These are people who are made in the image of God who have the same hurts, wants, and needs that you and I have; yet, without them ever knowing the name of Jesus, to hear what Jesus has done for them in the Gospel, and for them to believe the Gospel. The reality is these people will spend eternity separated from Jesus in Hell.

The city of Madhya Predesh there are over 72 millions people. Only 0.3% of the population is listed as Christians. 1,631 people die every day, the vast majority of whom never heard the good news of Jesus Christ. There are also 33 unreached people groups whose populations is over 100,000 people.

So the question becomes: how do you reach so many people with the Gospel? The group of brothers from Mercy Hill that I will go with will be training and equipping pastors and leaders in Madhya Predesh, India. We will teach them to share the Gospel, disciple believers, and plant churches and then teach them how to train others to do the same.

As I write this letter I cannot do this alone. I am now asking and leaning in/on friends and family for support for this trip.

First, I am asking for prayer for this trip. Would you pray for the local pastors and leaders that are already on the ground sharing the Gospel? Would you pray for the group of men going on this trip, for their health, for all of us to abide in Christ, and trust in Him as he prepares us for this trip?

Second, I need financial support. This trip will roughly cost $2500. If you feel you are able partner with me financially for this mission trip, I would be so humble and grateful for any amount.

As I close let me share one last thought. Why go to the nation of India and reach unreached people with the Gospel? Because God loves the unreached and how will they know of Jesus if we don’t go?
