This page and the ones attached to it serve as a collection of letters from a recent, short-term mission experience in India. The people involved are Glenn and Mary Alice Hill of Gentry, Arkansas. They have been involved in follow-up mission to people in parts of India where they have previously established work. There was also some opening ministry to unreached areas of this vast country.
These stories are included here to give a look at one form of Seventh-day Adventist mission work. My work is with the Illinois Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. Their work is endorsed by a sister institution (the Arkansas-Louisiana Conference of Seventh-day Adventists). These stories provide a window into current experiences of missionaries in Asia. (The writer of these stories is my father, Glenn H. Hill.)
