Update

Hello to all!
I hope by now you have figured out that I don't have time to spell check or recheck what I am posting- so forgive me but that is just the way it goes!

We are all well here in India and are in AWE of God and HIS work! Let me breifly catch you up on the past few days:

1. We had a Women's Conference on Saturday with over 400 ladies present! God be Praised! We all taught and the ladies seemed to soak in every word! We had a bit of a fiasco when we handed out the lotions after the meeting. We will have to explain everything once we get home. But it all worked out fine. The fiasco taught us what can happen when people have nothing. And, most of the people we have ministered too have very little or nothing at all in life but Jesus himself.
2. We traveled all day Sunday to 2 different churches and dedicated them in the Name of the Lord Jesus Chirst for His Glory and work. For those of you who attend Harrison Christian Church there is no way to explain what these builidings meant to the pople here. I can't express in words the gratitiude offered to us because of your hard work and giving. This was a treasured moment for all of us here. We can't wait to show you the pictures and tell the stories of these dedications. We had many come to us for prayer after the services. It was overwhelming- the needs that they each have. We laid hands on them and blessed them & lifted up what needs we could determine they had. One in paticular was a 15 year old girl whose mother had died and her father had ran off and left her. She was all alone in the world. I wept over her as I prayed. I can't tell you how often the needs of the people have been so great that our hearts have felt as if they were going to break into. Such pain yet such happiness in Jesus.
3. Monday we spent the whole day teaching the Bible School Students. 13 Boys ages 16 and up who are training to be pastors. It was a wonderful day. The boys are so sweet and egar to learn. That evening we drove to one of Abraham's first churches where we had a preaching service. The church was in the middle of a tea plantation. It was a beautiful setting. It was a great service & Chad and Abraham preached their hearts out!
4. Today we spent the day with over 100 pastors (I think that is a good number). We taught on Jesus model of Servant-Leadership! It was a wonderful meeting. The men sang so loud and with such passion It made our hair stand up!
5. Tonight we are taking Valsa out to eat & we have a free evening to rest. Our minds can use a break!

I haven't told you much about our time with David Raju and the orphans. I will have to wait until we have more time. There is so much to tell & so little time! But I promise we will write as we can!

Thank you all for your prayers! We can feel them!

Love to all,

Lori
