IFM Member Darrell Dahlman Report: India November 11-21 2011
Six years ago, God sent Rodrick Gilbert, an apostolic and national church planter
from Delhi India, to the Pacific Northwest on a "friendraiser" with a word of
encouragement from the Lord.
Since meeting him, hearing about his contagious passion for the Pacific Northwest,
spending time with him both here and in India, he has become our friend and we are
convinced God is in this invitation to join Rodrick at his leader's conference
November 13th-16th in northern India. Some 500 leaders will be attending and we,
along with some leaders from Europe and Indonesia, will be sharing our stories in
hopes of edifying and encouraging these believers who serve the Lord based on
Luke 10.

He has invited Carlene and I to bring to those leaders our passion to worship God
in Spirit and in Truth. He has asked us to share our stories and revelations from
the past 12 years on our journey into deeper intimacy with God. We look forward
to meeting Rodrick, his family and the leaders.
The Trip
After nearly 48 hours of flights (including delays) and famous India traffic (they use
horns for greetings) rather than warnings) we have arrived at Rodrick's farm, some
4 hours drive from Lucknow (northern India). The People have treated us like
royalty, and most of the locals want pictures because they think we are British.
The farm will be the gathering place of 14 leaders from Europe and Indonesia
today, and they expect 500-1500 leaders here. They have set up large kitchen
and put a new floor on an outdoor but covered meeting hall.
8am till 11pm...18 acre farm in the middle of nowhere...1500 men women and
children...4 days of teaching...worship...prayer....led by team of 10 from Europe,..
4 Indonesia...4 from USA. Carlene and I are feeling good....I spoke this morning
on worship and Carlene and I sang and signed together.....I used Indian drum....
and taught everyone new freedom....wonderful new friends in our international
team. We are all on the same page and are tag teaming in praying for everyone.
Carlene is working with 4 women to minister to each woman to remind them of
how much God loves them, and values them. They will touch every women with
Mary Kay Satin hand cream...we believe there will be breakthrough.
Thank you for praying...weather not too hot, but the food is...Rodrick has an
amazing family of servant leaders and we are learning as much as we impart.
