Good News

Today I talked with Ron, and through the generosity of Cape Cod Covenant Church, together with other funds from individuals, we have enough money to pay for the project and to buy the motorbike that Vijay needs.

The only possible glitch is that Vijay says we might have as many as 70 people, instead of the 30 we had asked for. When I was thinking about how to cut the number of students, Jesus' words to the disciples when they needed to feed 5000 people came to mind: "You give them something to eat."

So God is increasing our faith and our outreach.

I'm writing this on Tuesday night. We leave on Wednesday. I leave from Minneapolis. Ron leaves from Boston. We will meet up in Frankfurt, and then fly to Chennai together. When we get there, Vijay will meet us (at midnight Thursday) and we will drive a few hours up to Nellore. I hesitate to use the term "crash", but we will get some rest there after the very long trip and a jet lag of 10 1/2 hours for me and 9 1/2 hours for Ron.
