Delhi

The team arrived safely in India and were shocked by many contrasts in a short period of time. They had experienced the beauty of nature in the mountains of Nepal and now found themselves in the filth of the city in India. They enjoyed fellowship and worship together with local believers, and then went out into the dirt and filth of the world to minister to widows in the city. They saw people worshiping the true and living God and then saw others worshiping false gods. They saw the masses of people and the insane traffic and the local pastor who calmly maneuvered his vehicle through the traffic and sang praises to God while doing it!

Another pastors' seminar was held in Delhi. They talked about the calling and preparing of leaders, about their spiritual growth, relationships with church members in difficult situations, prayer life, and communication between ministers. At the end of the seminar, the team again had the opportunity to buy several bicycles and give them to local pastors who minister in the slums. This has become a great tradition and blessing for the pastors as they seek to minister spiritually and physically to the needy people of their country.

The team visited several widows, gave them a gift of food, and prayed for them. They saw how they lived in a 2x2 meter room with up to nine people! They also visited the slums and saw how people live literally in a dump and yet are happy with what they have in life!

From Delhi, the team rode north on a train to visit children's homes there. Praise the Lord for the opportunity to witness to a fellow traveler along the way. We continue to pray for God to work through them as they have made themselves available to Him for this trip and await further news of their adventures.
