Reflections: Zach Allen

What is the one thing you would tell the team that could help to prepare them for leaving?

Be relaxed! The trip was so well managed, from both the GCC and the Bible League, that there is little to worry about. The Bible League staffers in India will take such good care of you that you’ll feel spoiled during the entire time. The trust I had in the people leading me allowed me to relax and enjoy every moment of the trip. “Worry will not add another moment to your life…”

What did you think of the food?

I loved it! Of course, there were some things that took a little getting used to, but all in all, everything tasted great. I heard stories of unpalatable food and digestive nightmares, but I really enjoyed it. Even more, spending ten days with completely natural food was wonderful for my body – I’ve never felt healthier than the day I returned from India.

Note: Zach travelled to India in August of 2005.
