We have made so many valuable relationships. Now we are already packing up to head to Calcutta for a couple days to check out a few more people and organizations up there. We said “see you later”(Lord willing) to Vigi and Becky of Oasis this morning.
The last couple of days have been a true blessing, to us and to all those who we have been interacting with. Yesterday (3/9) we got the opportunity to visit St. Thomas Basilica. What a privilege! There are only three places in the world where they know that a disciple of Jesus was buried (Peter in Rome and James in Spain) and we got to visit Thomas’ here in India. We didn’t feel right that they were charging us to use our camera’s there. We were tempted to push over tables. J What a great experience.
That night we went to the Oasis office and met with Vigi again to hand out some of the futball shoes that we purchased for the kids. We handed them out and prayed over them a blessing. They were very encouraged, as we were also. Praise God.
Now we sit here in the lounge of the YWCA awaiting our ride to take us to Henry’s as we will have lunch at his home before we fly away to Calcutta.
Chennai has been so good to us. We have all fallen in love with the people and the kids. Many times we requested to see some kids because we were feeling deprived. J We will miss them. Though we hope we might be able to see them quickly on our way back before we take off home.
Thank you once again for your love and support.
Thanks for updating us, very exciting to hear what you are all upto, and I was trilled to hear about the futboll shoes!!!Last night our housechurch watched the freebags dvd and I am curious to hear what your experience will be from being there. One of the ladies at our group was asking about who does the designs for the bags, she has worked in the industry for years and was curious about the practical aspect. Maybe you guys will be able to tell her all about that when you get home...
ReplyDeleteI wish you safe travels to Calcutta. If you have time, you should visit one of Mother Theresa's homes for the dying and destitute, and one of the orphanages...
