YA India Mission Trip
MISSION IN INDIA
Authentic Life Young Adults is going to India to share the gospel! We are going to support Saji John! In partnership with the Saji John Foundation, we have fully funded a girls' home in India where we are fighting the horrors of Sex Trafficking. We currently support 12 girls rescued from various sex trafficking organizations. These girls are given a safe space to live and a place to go to school. They are also taught valuable life skills.

They are also taught valuable life skills so that they will be able to provide for themselves into adulthood, thereby ending the chain of human trafficking and giving these young girls hope! On this trip, our young adults get to be a part of that mission! They will have the opportunity to visit multiple locations where Saji is doing this incredible ministry! Details are still being planned, but for sure, we will have the opportunity to share the gospel and play a role in impacting so many lives in India!
Saji is so committed to sharing his passion for missions with our young adults that He is personally going to be visiting our Young Adults Ministry from India on May 6th to preach and meet the mission team! How incredible is that?!
For more information about the organization and our partnership:
We are taking around 23 young adults. Each team member will be raising $2,200. Your prayers and donations are greatly appreciated!

I am so excited for this mission trip because I believe God is moving in big ways. Not only here in Littleton, but all across the world. How blessed are we that we get to be some small part of His bigger plan? We are so blessed to have the access to Jesus that we do, I can’t wait to go to a place where people are so desperate for the love of Jesus and we get to tell them all about Him!
TYLER DIXON
I am psyched for this trip because not only have I never been on a mission trip before but I will be able to utilize my passion for service in ways I never could have imagined! I firmly believe that this trip will bring transformation in my own life, but more so the lives of those who we get to reach and I am extremely grateful that I get to be a vessel for this kind of love that God has to offer. I do believe that while the experience will be incredible, it will be challenging and I pray it is because that is how my faith and the kingdom of God will grow!
AVERY SCHMITT
I am so honored and humbled to be given the opportunity and privilege to go to India with my second family! God is going to use our group in so many beautiful ways to show the love and kindness of the Lord to the people of India! It is by His strength alone, that I will be able to be the hands and feet of Jesus to make the gospel known!

The reason I’m excited for this trip is to strengthen my relationship with God. I am ready to see how He works around the world and how He will work in me. I’m ready for this trip to shape my future with God and I hope I can bring what I learn back home too.
CAROLINE ROSE WHEELER
I am incredibly excited about this mission trip to India because it offers a unique opportunity to serve others while learning from a diverse culture. I hope to deepen my understanding of God’s love by connecting with people from different backgrounds and sharing the Gospel. I hope to capture the goodness of God through prayer, worship, and service. Through this experience, I believe it will not only strengthen my own faith but also spread the Kingdom of God through acts of love, compassion, and service.

I’m excited to be in this amazing community spreading the word of God. I’m hoping it will grow my faith and make me on fire for him. And I think it will grow His kingdom by being there preaching in His name.

‘’ You’re good, and I've witnessed it. You're strong, and I've witnessed it. You're constant, and I’ve witnessed it, You’re strong and I’ve witnessed it, You’re constant and I’ve witnessed it and I’m confident that I’ll see it again and again’’. I have witnessed God’s love, His healing, and His power. I am ecstatic to tell the people of India what I’ve witnessed because I am confident that I will see His goodness again and again. Without a doubt, God is working in all Nations, and I am delighted to tell all nations, including India, what I’ve witnessed.
JORDAN NOVINGER
I am so excited to experience another mission trip, this time to India. Having participated in numerous mission trips, I’ve witnessed God’s miraculous work in transforming lives. I believe that this trip will further deepen my faith as we engage with the local communities, share the Gospel, and experience the profound ways God is moving in India. By serving alongside this amazing group of believers, I hope to contribute to the growth of His Kingdom and be a vessel for His boundless love and grace.
YASMIN JALOUB
I am super pumped for what God is going to do in India!!! I know he will push me in my faith and to act out in faith. Matthew 18:19-20 commands us to “go” and be “disciples to all nations”. This is the desire of my heart: to obey him, follow his promptings, and to share his gospel to as many people as I can! I am confident that God will work in India in ways that I cannot even imagine. Praise Jesus!

I am excited for this trip because I want to witness God move in so many lives. I can’t wait to see how he moves in my life and how he uses my peers and I to change others' lives and bring them to the Lord. I think God’s kingdom is going to grow tremendously as we serve these people and show them what God’s true love is and how He can change their lives!
IMOGEN ESPINOZA
I’m so blessed to be called by the Lord to be going on this trip to spread Gods greet word in India! I’ve personally been so touched by how God is moving in this generation and I’m so excited to take a part of his kingdom in such a selfless way! I’ve personally wrestled with my faith and I hope to show and teach that no matter the struggle, pain, conflict, confusion or uncertainty that you are facing , God has a purpose for you. I hope to grow my own faith as well on this trip by allowing God to work through me in ways unimaginable and ways I’ve never seen before!
We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God-those whom he has called according to his plan.

NATALIE KLEIN
With a heart full of hope, I embrace God‘s invitation! The opportunity to serve him in a new and unfamiliar way is exciting! While the thought of traveling to a new corner of the world can be daunting, 2 Timothy 1:7 reassures me that Faith, not fear, will be my guide. The spirit equips me for bold faith! My prayer is that this journey would bear fruit for his kingdom, both in India, and when I return home, as I proclaim the hope and freedom found in Jesus Christ! I eagerly anticipate the incredible ways God will work through us, transforming lives and communities. ( “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”)
2 Timothy 1:7 NIV

SAMMY TABIN
I am so blessed to be given this opportunity of going on the India Mission trip and helping support the Saji John Foundation! Over this past year I have grown deeply in my faith and watched my life completely change! As I continue to learn, grow, and watch God move in my life, I feel more and more called to do more with my faith. As someone who is definitely more introverted, this mission will be a big step out of my comfort zone and an even bigger step in my faith journey, which is why I believe God is calling me to help spread His word and act on my faith in this way. I know the Lord will be my source of strength and comfort, and knowing that makes me beyond excited to share His word, my faith, and His love in a way that I never have before!
TAYLA ELLIS
I am most looking forward to this mission trip because it grants me the opportunity to show my love for God through my actions as well as giving me the opportunity to further expand my relationship with Him. I know that by being given this opportunity I will come to know Jesus and myself more than I ever have before and I want to impact people the way God has positively impacted me. Over the last year God has never come short on making me see Him and how He is moving in my life. This trip will give me the opportunity to serve and spread the gospel to those in need. I am sure that in His timing, He will change the lives of those who need His love and guidance and there is no doubt that the young girls in India will see that when we’re there to evangelize and bring them deeper into their faith. I want to help as many people as I can to know Jesus the way I have come to know and love Him, no matter their culture or background!

GRACE MAICKI
The opportunity to obey God’s command to go and spread the Gospel is truly a gift and a blessing. I am greatly looking forward to the ways that God will move in and through each and every person He has placed on this trip. I trust that God is preparing hearts (here and in India) to hear the good news about Jesus and the great love He has for us, and that He is preparing and equipping each of us to do His work. Our God is so good and so loving and I look forward to the mighty ways He will move in this trip and beyond.
GRACE NUSSBAUMER
I’m so excited to see God’s love move in the lives of people who have such different experiences than we do and how they can be fueled by the love we will share with them. I hope to learn from them and to show them God’s love in a way they may have never felt before. I can’t wait to be away from the busy lives we live and just sit there in His peace and experience full security that He is really all that we or anyone in any part of the world will ever need.
