Our first few days in India have been full of excitement,
new people and new friendships. We are spending our time together and with the
kiddos. We are getting to know each other better and seeking the Lord. This
morning during service I stumbled upon the verse Jeremiah 31: 33 in it the Lord
declares “I will put my law within them and I will write it on their hearts and
I will be their God and they will be my people.” It’s not hard to see how God has
written in their hearts and made them a new people. Among the idols a few have found
truth and it’s inspiring to see them love Jesus.
So far we have been getting to know the kiddos. Each one has
their own unique personality. Marcos loves hugs and to be held, anytime someone
has a free hand he will gladly latch on. Boron has his prized slinky that you
would be lucky to pry from his hands. Samu knows five languages and is only
seven years old. Some of them are loud, outgoing and love to wrestle. Some are
quiet are reserved. Some have a heaviness about them and the hurt they carry
with them is evident. I look forward to learning more about each boy and
showing them the love of Christ.
I truly believe that God is working and is in this place. He
tells us he has plans for our future to prosper us and not to hurt us. Walking
through the streets I have to believe that God is going to do big things here.
