Team Updates, Testimony and Prayer Requests from 26-27 October


Bill Connel - "Wow! What a trip and people. The team I'm with are the greatest, most loving people. The people we have helped are very grateful and loving. god is everywhere on this mission."

John, Sara, Karis & Stephen Midturi - "I now really believe in jet-lag! At least in small children! Karis has slept from about 3 p.m. to midnight every day! There is hope for tonight since she only took in a few hours nap... But Stephen has been 'napping' for 3 hours..." -- Sara "It has been son nice to have so many extra hands to help with the care of Karis & Stephen." -- Sara

Rebecca Briggs - "We squeezed in a few hours of shopping today, which was fun. Except for the rickshaw ride, which was more like a "come to Jesus". We are having a blast and can't wait for the 2nd clinic day tomorrow!"

Emily DeWees (Austin, TX) - "A few days in India has been amazing! We have already done so much on our first few days. It's been a blessing to be here, however I truly understand the meaning of "walk every day as it may be your last" after traveling on a Indian Airbus plane and riding in a rickshaw. I have a video of the horrifying experience. Keep us in your prayers."

Joyce & Allen Powell - "We spent our Delhi clinic at a Hindu Temple meeting with mostly older patients. We were served a lovely Indian lunch. We especially liked working with our translators who were teachers in the Hindu school. Our prayer is that God will use this day to His purpose."

Dr. Satish (New Delhi) - "We were in a temple which would have been unimaginable holding our Bibles in our hand and preaching. Being a medical team, we were welcomed. Well appreciated for what we did and they want to have us come back next year. I am sure we have sown a seed. Harvest will be in the Lord's time."

Jana Spillers - "We prayed for the Lord to go before us and it has been clear that our prayer was answered. Our first clinic day was held in a Hindu temple. The local leaders welcomed us and provided a wonderful lunch. Our patients were very thankful for our medical attention. We spoke different languages but we could still communicate via translators and gestures. It also helps that the love of God is a universal language."
