July 5 – afternoon

And Bill Petersen said I wouldn’t be able to write the blog on the bus ride back to the hotel…apparently he didn’t know there would be a two hour delay today (one way, guided through traffic at the section where all the permanent potholes are.)

Today we went to two new villages TACC has never been to. Reuben, their pastor, lived in the one and its sister village was just on the other side of the creek. I REALLY liked this village. There were already a few believers there and one of them, took Jageswar and I to the homes of people who were her friends, and apparently ripe for the Gospel. Every home i went to today either had someone who had never heard the Good News but very glad I brought it to them; or someone who had a friend or relative who was a believer and became one too; or used to go to church but hadn’t for a long time, and as I shared about the life of a believer, wanted to follow Jesus. These villages were not very big in size, but their hearts seemed to be open to the Holy Spirit.

Please pray for Jageswar’s oldest daughter. She has a worm in her brain that they are treating medically – surgery is not an option. She is two years through a three treatment plan they hope will kill the parasite.

-just an interesting thought that’s been nagging on me…if cows are really deity to the Hindu, why do they put them to work in the fields? I’m gonna start calling them “god on a leash”
