Big man. Big mission. Lodge 66, Waco member Justin Gaidusek took off 10 days from work to spread the gospel. He and his team of three members from First Baptist Belton traveled 36 hours to Visakhapatnam, India. Their mission was to introduce Christianity to a Hindu nation, one at time. They were well received as they held revival meetings in schools and community gatherings. More photos on page 10.
