They’re crying started while we were sharing about what a blessing it has been to get to know them and serve them. Each of us “teachas” took turns telling them how much we loved them and are going to miss them. I was determined not to cry until I got on the bus to head home, but as I saw a couple children crying across the room tears began to fill my eyes. The children didn’t just shed a few tears like I had expected, they began to weep. Girls began crying on me. Laying their heads in my lap and on my shoulder. They...

So I have been waiting all weekend to premier this gem to our supporters and family! This is a music video some of us on the team filmed last weekend and we premiered fully completed on Thanksgiving! It’s called “The Kreeper” and stars myself and Brittney as two characters called Kreepi Kahn and Krazi Kapoor. This is just the first of the music videos we were planning on doing to, of course, Bollywood music! Just so people understand the background of the story, “The Kreeper” is about a creepy man who finds Bollywood heroine Krazi Kapoor very...

This past week we did a prayer walk in the biggest city in Goa, Margoa. One of our ministry partners is trying to start a ministry there working in the red light district, so we came to cover the area in prayer. We first went to a slum on the outskirts of the city and walked through to pray for the tuition kids in the area and for that ministry in particular. After that we headed into the center of the city. Margoa is very crowded and very busy. We weaved in and out of cars and buses and people and motorcycles and finally made it to this wall with a gate. We really had no idea...

This week has been full of thanksgiving and prayer! We went on a prayer walk Monday to nearby town where the Red Light District is and spent the afternoon praying for the city. It was neat as we hiked to the top of a steep hill overlooking the whole city. As we did, we were able to pray boldly for the nation of India. For the women. For the children. For the men. For this generation and the next. I firmly believe that revival is now! My prayer is that the men of India would rise up and be mighty men of valor. Men after...

This week our team finally celebrated our own holiday. In a country full of holidays just about every month, we were excited to celebrate a (pretty) traditional Thanksgiving holiday, stock full of fellowship and of course (American) food. We invited some of our Indian family to join us in the festivities and we spent the morning cooking (or resting), the afternoon at the beach, the evening around the dinner table eating tons of food, and the evening laughing at silly videos and lighting off fireworks. It was a wonderful holiday spent with the people I love in one of the many countries I...

I Really Love People Watching From My Balcony In India

Sitting on the balcony watching the beautiful pink and purple eveningâ€™s sky fade to black, hearing the nearby seaâ€™s waves coming and going, seeing the jungle grow dark with the yellow lightâ€™s lamp post coming on, and hearing the hustle and bustle of the town: people talking, car and bus horns, some random drums being played somewhere, the clinging of metal pots as people wash their dishes, hearing them chat within their homes, somewhere thereâ€™s a baby crying. Watching from above people moving in the quiet paths of the evening, coming in and out of their houses, children...
