Since being back in Chennai we spent a whole week strictly
on children’s ministries. November is dedicated to children here in India so it
was a really fun time for the group to interact with the children. Our group
has been given the chance to plan out our own services for the kids each day so
it was good to work together and be as creative as possible with all the kids we've ministered to. It seemed that each day that passed the children who were
present grew and grew. By Sunday we were privileged to do a children’s ministry
for over 400 kids. The kids were having fun dancing, getting to know us and
participating in our dramas. Good times were had. This past week we got to
focus on open air preaching with a few villages around the outskirts of
Chennai. Students got to preach, share testimonies and lead people to
salvation. We fell in love with the village ministry, beautiful setting, simple
way of life and the people are very receptive to listen to us and that’s an
encouragement. On Thursday the base who is hosting our group honored our Thanksgiving holiday and worked very hard to make us feel at home. The food was
wonderful and our hearts were very thankful to each and every person who was
involved in making this a reality. We are very blessed to be living with such
great people. Yesterday we worked with a church for a healing service. During
the day part of our group went into town to hand out invitations and the other
group stayed behind interceding for the people we’d minister to, the group, key
speakers and other issued that were laid on our hearts. Towards the evening we
performed dramas for the people, a student shared his testimony and our
director Bruce was the main speaker. We also had the chance to pray for people
at the end for healing. The pastor was very thankful for our help and his wife
spent the majority of the day cooking us lunch and dinner. The hospitality was
tremendous. Again, this would not be possible without all of our supporters.
This Thanksgiving always gives us a reminder on what to be thankful for. Each
of us here want to thank all the people who've given from their own pockets,
have been interceding with us and reading the blog and staying connected. It’s
awesome how much is being done here and we are thankful you are walking along with
us in this journey. We encourage all the prayers we can get! Also if you feel
