Today began with a vibrant prayer and worship meeting in which we talked about specific conversations we had on campus yesterday, and then we prayed together about these people – Chris, who grew up with Atheist parents, always believed there was good and evil, and had an experience where he felt like God reached out to […]

Profound Moments
Today felt like a day filled with profound moments! We started the day by meeting the band members from Arché, India’s first contemporary Hindi rock band. We attended their first concert last night where they debuted their first album. Here we learned more about a wing of Catalyst called Catalyst Creatives who’s goal is to […]
Catalyst Love & Care
Day 3 in India went well. Today we went to experience the differences in the health care system in India. If you are wealthy, you can afford any luxury possible. If you are poor you wont even be admitted to the government hospital unless you have someone to take care of you (change you, your […]

Humbled
By Dr. Scott Bevans We have spent the better part of this week seeing children at the Safe Haven School and the adults at the lay pastor training.
