Welcome to the India blog

I hope you will bookmark the spot and return occasionally to see what has developed.
We want to see many churches established through the vision that the Indian pastors have presented.

Good Start

We finished the first day. 62 people registered. Most of them are young and energetic. A couple of them are as young as 15. They are also small, so they look like they might be 12. They are responding well. Ron was having fun getting them to give back to him 5 marks of a mature believer from the book of James, and when they finally caught on to the game, they shouted back the answers.
I taught on Zecharias and Elizabeth in Luke 1, and we are having a drama group illustrate it tomorrow morning. Yes, tomorrow, Sunday. We will do it as a kind of Bible class, followed by a regular service. Then a teaching in the afternoon as well.
We have assigned the students to memorize Ecclesiastes 12:1-8. It's ostensibly about being young (remember your creator in the days of your youth) but when you read it you realize it's about being old (the "grinders" cease because they are few!). It should be fun teaching through it.
Cape Cod Covenant has a 24 hour prayer chain going for us while we are here. That gives us fresh courage in the face of the heat. Others are praying as well--in Argentina, Honduras, Pakistan (and the nation of California as well).
