India Update


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!
