Why Should I Go To India

I've been reading a book entitled "The Heavenly Man" by Brother Yun.  He is a Chinese House Church pastor.  Speaking about a time when he was asking God for a Bible he said this, "I went home, and every morning and afternoon I ate and drank nothing.  Every evening I ate just one small bowl of steamed rice.  I cried like a hungry child to his heavenly Father, wanting to be filled with his Word.  For the next one hundred days I prayed for a Bible, until I could bear it no more.  My parents were sure I was losing my mind." (pg. 28)  Can you even imagine what it would be like to hunger to know God like that and not be able to even read the Bible.  I can't imagine that.  I expect going to India will change how I hunger and thirst for righteousness and how, as Tozer might say, I follow hard after God.  How are doing in following hard after God?
