From the Land of India

March 13, 2006 in Influence, Mission with 10 Comments


Hello form the Land of cows, rickshaws and millions of people. We have experiences so much in the last few days. Lots of rice, spices, and millions of people. Please excuse the broken sentences, fragments and run ons. Some of you are saying whats new! I only have a few miniutes before the electricity will probably go out again.
The Lord is definitley moving here and we have meet some wonderul nationals who are trying to reach people for Christ. Please pray for the team who is here. We are beginning our training this morning. I am typing at 7:15 am in India and you are about to eat dinner. We will be teaching pastors and church planters today and tommorrow. They are anxious for us to be with them. Many have left everything to follow Christ and we have the privilege to encourage them in the faith.
Tonight begins a festival for all of India called Holi. Do a little research to find out about this festival. It is supposed to symbolize the death of evil from what we are told, but many unholy things go on during this festival. Tonight at midnight huge bonfires will be set to symbolize the beginning. There will also be people in the streets throwing paint on everyone and everything in sight for the next couple of days. This is a huge party time. We have been told to keep a low profile during this time. It is a Hindu celebrationa and openly Christian activity is not highly looked upon. I will try to post later. Thanks for the prayers you are lifting on our behalf and for the Ms here. Please pray for safety, sleep, and for us to enjoy spicy foods. God is moving and we are pumped to be in the middle of what He is doing.
