It’s
been a great time so far in India. It was awesome to see a different side of
India and get an experience of what it’s like here overall. After leaving the
Chennai base we traveled up to Andra Pradesh to partner with Oasis ministries
and an old teacher of ours, Darrell Dobbelmann. With Darrell, we got to be a
part of a few healing crusades. All of our students were able to be stretched
by leading dramas and praying for people. It was overwhelming! Several thousand
people attended. Afterwards we got to see what it was like to get 15 minutes of
fame. People surrounded us to get pictures, autographs, and lots of prayer. It
was awesome to be able to minister to them. On our way from the festival to Anantapur we stopped to dedicate 3 fresh water wells in 3 different communities. These wells will each serve about 50 families with clear, clean water. We also got to serve with different
churches in the area by leading lessons. We got to perform dramas, share
testimonies and preach from our hearts. It was a time of growing. The team was
able to step out of their comfort zones and step up in front of crowds of
people and share from the heart. Living conditions were definitely a blessing.
We got to stay at hotels that had comfortable beds, A/C and flushing toilets.
It was a pleasant stay. The people who hosted us really gave us a new meaning
on the definition of hospitality. They went above and beyond welcoming us,
always feeding us, and making us feel loved as if each and every moment were an
intimate celebration of their own; lots of wonderful memories being made. After
12 days and an 8 hour train ride home we are back at the Chennai base. It was
great reuniting with old friends and seeing what God has for us in the
remaining four weeks. Carissa we miss you and thinking of you! See you soon! To
everyone else thank you for all your support whether financial or by prayer.
Please continue supporting us by prayer. Specifically for our leaders Bruce and
Kalissa for strength and endurance; the team by really being used by God and
that we continue to move forward regardless of fatigue and other issues. Thank
you from the bottom of our hearts. If you feel led to send a donation for our
