Safe in India!
We spoke with the team leaders and they’ve all arrived safely in India. After a few long travel days they’ve finally arrived at their ministry site and will be settling in these next few days and getting some orientation from their hosts. Expect to see some blogs rolling out in the next few days as they find internet. Thanks for all the prayers for this team!
