India Mission Trip Update

I recently returned from a mission trip to India, and I’m happy to report that it went very well.

(Note: I’m always hesitant to post about missions, because I don’t want to seem like I’m boasting about doing something, or trying to use it for PR. But I think it’s important to give a report, because YOU all were a part of it, and when you support me you’re supporting this stuff.)

First I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who contributed toward the trip either through donations, through my special 3-day sale, or by supporting my recent product launch. In addition to paying for this trip, we have now given over $50,000 to missionaries as a result of these online fundraisers.

It was my 2nd trip to India (1st one was in 2009), and also my 2nd mission trip this year (other one was to Belize). You can read about some other trips in the missions category of my blog if you’re interested.

This time I took my wife and four kids with me… what an adventure! We homeschool our kids, so it was a very educational “field trip”.

Here are some pictures of our family visiting the school that we were working with…

And of course the best part of India is the PEOPLE…

I’m also producing a promotional video for the organization to use in their fundraising efforts, using the footage that I shot on this trip.

It’s a blessing to be able to do this stuff, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to do it. Regardless of how successful you are in business and finances, I enourage you to do good things and help others in some way– whether it be across the street or around the world.

Again, thanks to all who helped make this happen.

Have a great day!

          Eric,

          No wonder you are so blessed with your internet business - it’s because you care about people!

          Thanx for the pics.

              Hi, Eric. Thanks for sharing your photos! May God bless you for being a blessing to others. Thank you also for all the free tips you sent. I hope that I can apply this knowledge to my online business.

                Awesome! Where exactly were you guys in India? My wife, son (now we have 2) and I were in New Delhi for 6 months last year - I must’ve missed your previous updates related to this!

                If you don’t mind my asking - what org did you go with? Or was it self-organized?

                • Eric said:

                  We were in a rural area outside Bangalore. It was self organized with some Indian friends of ours who live there and run the school.

                  • Hitesh said:

                    That’s awesome! Our trip was self-organized too (kinda obvious since I grew up there and my parents are still there). Another friend of ours student-taught at the Kodai-Kanal school right outside Bangalore too - this looks very similar.

                    I have a ton of questions I want to bombard you with - where did you stay (with friends?)? Did you visit churches in the area? There’re more, but I’ll leave you be for now ;)
                    Would really like to get your views on the ‘growing church’ there…way too many people have an opinion without ever having visited and seen things first-hand.

                    • Eric said:

                      Hitesh- yes we stayed with friends. I’ll send you an email.

                • Totally awesome pics! Glad you could go and make a difference.

                      God bless you and your beautiful family Eric. Keep focusing on what is really important and what counts amidst a deluded, don’t need God, world. The reality is we need Jesus Christ more than anyone or anything for life and successful living, now and definitely for the future.

                                      Hi Eric ~ great photos! I loved the one with all the spices :-) Reminded me of when we lived in Malaysia. Oh, I loved shopping each week at the markets…much more interesting than shopping in an over-crowded supermarket with rude people banging their trolleys into you all the time.

                                      God Bless you and your family for everything that you do for others.

                                          Cool Pics Eric, well done and welcome.

                                          • I thank you for sending your pictures to us, it is great to see an ” Internet Guru ” truly giving back rather than just talking about it.

                                            I would also like to congratulate you on having what appears to be one of the most beautiful families ( your group photo ) that I have seen, you are quite Blessed.

                                            Thoughts and prayers to you and your family,
                                            Michael

                                                May I ask where in India you were?

                                                    I admire you that you can work at many projects in the same time. Recently I had to stop all the projects, I chose just the most important one and now I am doing well, but being generous and let me involved in many of them got me nowhere…

I fully understand that he is force to do it this way as he also is doing many, many projects in the same time. So I just wait and follow when I can and I always like Eric’s teaching-videos and fully trust his model.

                                                            Eric,

                                                            First off I want to say thank you! God has truly given you a gift & has blessed you with a beautiful family. I pray God continues to bless you for what you are doing. Your giving & careing will never go unreconized. The lord sees all and is very pleased.

                                                            Second I (Derek) am currently serving in the armed forces overseas, one of the greatest nations of all, America! Soon to be deployed to south Saudi Arabia. As I serve a very powerful nation I also serve a very powerful God.

                                                            Do not fall into the ways of the world (Media) & never forget what our nation was founded appone. Good morals and righteousness. In GOD we trust! Take care & continue to a path of triumph.

                                                            -Derek

                                                              First, thanks to you and your comrades for your service to our country.

                                                              Great to see that you recognize creator, sustainer, omnipotent God and His Son, Jesus Christ. I trust you have a personal relationship with Him.

                                                              May God continue to bless as you continue to serve your country and Lord.

I miss India (been 10 years since my last mission trip there). Definitely hope to visit Bangalore on my next trip. I was surprised to see the mountains…are they also in Tamil Nadu state? I love the photo of the woman with the fruit and vegetables? May I have permission to use it on my church website? Lovely family you have, wonderful to see you all traveling as a family unit…India is so family oriented. What a blessing! CM:-)

How nice to have someone who is not wielding a gun and destroying lives as many are in this world. Why can’t we all be thankful that we have a life and be able to enhance others like you are doing. What a wonderful world we would live in then. You are an inspiration to us all. Mike.

Actually, Bangalore is in Karnataka. Lovely snaps. Next time, visit Kerala, also in south India, it is truly God’s own country.

It must feel great to be able to do that on such a scale.By the way, while i’m here, I bought the epic firesale download but it was late at night and didn’t finish downloading plus I forgot to bookmark it DOH!So I havent actually got the software or the seminar showing how to use it.I’m having prostraste treatment and i’m doing some divvy things just lately so is it possible to send me the download page again Eric? I know it’s a while ago now but like I said, a bit divvy lately. Thanks

As a minister of the gospel my heart longs to do both the Internet business and the ministry work that changes lives and lets others know that there are people that love them and that God loves them also.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                You have a great business, a beautiful family and a rewarding ministry work. You have so much to offer and my wife and I will be calling you and your families names in prayer. God Bless richly.

May your tribe increase!

And I am overwhelmed at your zeal to serve God through your mission trip(s). I am also venturing online since 4 years and I am not that successful so far. I am doing this to find financial resources for my ministry projects(apostolic ministry, we have 4 churches all in villages with 1st generation believers, Praise God!). I would be thankful if you will consent for a JV, though I have no idea what that will be.

The MAIN REASON I became a fan of yours was BECAUSE of the faith and generosity you exhibit by GIVING to others. In one recent post (I’m up to number #38 I believe) you talk about Influence, Authority, and Positioning.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        When my father asked me to help him start an online business I could only imagine all the bad stuff he might be getting us into during the process. I was hesitant to look at most sites he told me about for fear of flooding my in-box with junk. I did not even go to your sites until after he read me the post from one of your mission trips. God has certainly blessed you and I hope he keeps on doing so because after I spent some time with the Tips and the TRIPS I believe what I found was a trust worthy, honest, and God fearing man of character.

We have planted more than 154 churches in different places in Andhra Pradesh State in India. We do weekly worship, fasting prayers, youth Bible Classes, Revival meetings, Night Bible Prayer meetings and weekly Bible Programs etc., very regularly.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              I and my co-workers have been carrying on outdoor preaching by spreading the Gospel of JESUS Christ in visiting door to door, personal counseling, conducting street rallies, distributing the tracts, booklets and New Testaments and the Holy Bibles and we have been trying my best to save as many souls as possible. Our people are mostly Hindus and Muslims who are accustomed to worship ideals, cows, snakes and trees etc., India is bounded by 330 million pagan Gods and also there are 780,000 villages where people still do not know Jesus. Our goal is to plant churches in such villages. Please let us know if you are interested in knowing our church planting in unreached villages.

I am applying for a six week mission trip to Mumbai this summer. Any advice for a college student that has never done overseas missions? I would really appreciate some advice from someone who has actually been there. Please e-mail if you don’t mind. Thank you so much and God bless.

I would expect that your team leaders will give you some good preparation. Many first time mission trippers go with the expecation that they are going to “change the world”. That’s not a bad thing; you can and will make a difference. But it will affect more change on you than anything. You will be changed by the people and by God. So just go with an open heart to receive what God has for you. One of the main parts of the experience is building relationships with your team mates, and with the people you meet. Don’t be afraid of India, it’s a great place. Drink bottled water, and avoid street food. You still may get digestive issues, but it’s worth it.

Its not that I am against Christianity. But trying to impose thoughts is an assault on native culture..Please do not change the faith. Its a request . I hope you see and really understand what I mean.
