Day 9 - Small Village, Big Blessings

We attended small village churches today (our two teams went to different villages) to get another dose of the culture and to be a blessing for those attending. Just so happens that the tables were turned on us as we were the ones receiving the blessings.

Indian services, especially in the smaller villages, are somewhat "scheduled" but often flow with the needs of the people. Songs last FOREVER! They would be singing a song, and it seemed like it was slowing down and would end, but then would pick right back up to do it all over again, a couple of times. We also got to take communion with the fellowship. Very sweet to commune with believers on the opposite side of the world.

Many requests for prayer in the congregation. Hearts are heavy here in India and lives need healing. He brings hope to a hurting world and healing to those in need. Please lift our brothers and sisters up after reading this. Many want loved ones to know Him, others need healing for sick and injured, and for the pastor and his family to be effectively serve their community that needs the light.

Blessings to you and peace be with you.
