Bilet!


Thank you for your prayers!
Time flies here in India and we've already finished three of our five weeks in Chennai. We are kosing ourselves incredibly much. Both the girls and boys have taken intergration into the Indian culture to the next level. The girls have taken Paul literally when he said "I have become all things to all people so I might save some", by piercing their noses which is very trendy here. The boys are intergrating with both their left and right hands, and increasing the magnitude of hair on their upper-lip.

Our ministry hasn't been too much different from the past weeks; we've visited childrens homes, leperacy colonies, and churches. On Saturday we went to a worship-service in a church outside of town. We had been invited to lead 45 minutes of worship there. Most of the people there knew little English, but they still clapped and hummed along.

On Sunday we went to New Life Assemblies of God, a church with 35 000 regular members each Sunday. We did a drama about having a personal foundation in Christ and we think it encouraged them.

Unfortunately we have had some sickness in the team lately. Adrian and Melissa are recovering, but Katie has yet to finish fighting it out. Please pray for continued protection and guidance.

life in india








we're here in chennai! we arrived early sunday morning. we had a few days to relax, buy clothes, rest, and we began ministry on wednesday. so far we have rolled bandages for leprosy patients, visited a children's home (children of leperous parents), did a prayer walk on the beach, and this afternoon we divided up into groups and went evangelising, went to a fisherman's village, and slum ministry.
we're really enjoying our time here. the days are hot, but the evenings are nice. we've all been the swelling place of mosquitos, but... it's outreach! the girls are living at the main building for the ywam beach center and the guys are living abou 5 minutes away with other guys from the base.
in the coming days we will be doing work with aids patients, more prayer walks, and church ministry. please continue to pray for us! blessings...
india team.
