Thank you all for your prayers and support for the ministry in India. I praise Him and thank Him for all the work that he has allowed Jodie and I to be a part of here in Charachandpur. By his grace I have completed teaching on Isaiah, and the five Poetic books (Wisdom Literature) of the Old Testament. Yesterday we celebrated with a feast that Steve and I provided with ‘hamburgers’ and soda from a local restaurant. This was a big treat for them as the students do not normally have lunch and some of them have never eaten “hamburgers” before. So we all enjoyed a good meal and fellowship. Throughout the weeks that I have been here, the students and I have often played volleyball after classes, but today after our food and fellowship they had arranged a volleyball match against another college. So we got in some taxis (more like little buggies) and made our way across town. Just as we arrived, the storm clouds rolled in and by the time we started playing it started sprinkling then raining and soon it was a down pour. These guys kept right on playing as if it was a bright sunny day. The outdoor court quickly became a mud puddle (no grass) – and for the next hour or so we enjoyed some good mud volleyball. I think they enjoyed having a tall guy on their team. Of course our team won all six games!
As we wrap up our ministry efforts here in India and prepare for our long trek home we are praying that God will give us rest and replenish our energies because the summer is almost over and the fall is quickly approaching. By the time we get back to Texas, Jodie will have less than a week to prepare for teaching and Josh will have about two weeks to get up to speed on his Greek and Hebrew for his upcoming fall classes.
Look for a summary report of all the ministries here in India that we were a part of in the next coming days.
