Proud of this team

Well...the trip is pretty much over, except for some last minute shopping before heading to the airport tomorrow. It has been a fantastic trip. I am sooooo proud of this team. They have exhibited such selflessness and sacrifice. India is a tough place to spend a week when you are accustomed to American comforts. It is difficult to describe how radically different it is here. But their was not one complaint from the team...not one. This team has endured upset stomachs, nausea, head aches, jet lag, spicy food, dirty conditions, smog, crazy traffic, and noisy hotel rooms. They sat on the floor in a crowded room every day for several hours strait while the Word was taught. They ate food they had never even heard of before, and cleaned their plates. They spent a day visiting with and ministering alongside Indian believers in the worst slum imaginable and CRIED when they had to leave. I could go on and on. But, ask any of them if they are glad they came...ALL of them will say yes. They did all this, not for themselves, but for the sake of the Gospel. I am so proud to be their pastor and team leader!

Slummin' It

Today we did some ministry in the slums.  It was a very eye opening awesome experience.  We worshipped and praised with them, performed the Christmas Cantata, ate, taught a Bible Study, and prayed for them.

This is a closet with all of their worldly goods.  It makes me pause and think about complaining about the size of my closet.

You all from TBC would be proud seeing these Indians in the costumes for the Christmas Cantata.  They are proud too.  They have never had anything like it and the narrative that goes with it has been awesome.  You can tell it has caused the unbelievers to ask questions and possibly want to know about Jesus!

This is for Carol Walker

We met a lady today at the conference that was knitting a sweater.  We ended up through a translator learning that she is quite the seamstress.  She said she can make anything she sees, and we told her about a lady in our church... Carol Walker, that has that same skill.  So we met the Indian version of Carol today.  :)
