Greetings to all!!

It is hard to believe that there is only 1 more month left of our stay here in India. I must admit that it is both exciting and sad at the same time. As excited as I am to see my family and friends, we have come to know many of the locals and have build good friendships with many of the youth, which will make leaving difficult. But that sadness, just reminds us how much God has accomplished in our time here.

Like Alex was mentioning, it was wonderful to see a familiar face from home. Mark was here for a couple of weeks, and it was both encouraging and challenging to meet with him.
With our time quickly slipping by, it is vital for us to keep our focus on our heavenly father and what He is doing here in India. He has done so much already... First of all He has provided us with a wonderful host family with a passion for the Lord and His ministry, provided us with accommodations nearby, given us opportunities to do programs and to openly share the gospel in many different schools, opened homes for us to fellowship and share with people, who are from other religious and cultural beliefs, allowed us to build friendships with the locals, and shown us how He works in people’s hearts! Please continue to pray for the people, who have heard and accepted, the free gift of salvation that Christ offers. Pray that this new faith would not die after we leave, but that RJ would be able to continue to encourage and challenge them, and that there would be a spiritual awakening here in Mumbai!

With board exams going on for most students and especially for both 10th and 12th standards, we haven’t had as many opportunities to get together with our friends lately. But at the same time it has provided us with more time to work on our studies and homework, as well as prepare and practice some of our programs. Students’ exams will be ending around the middle to end of March, and then we will most likely have no shortage of things to do or people to meet! So for now we will do our best to get as much done ahead of time as we can. Pray that we will have the energy and endurance to get through the craziness to come, especially as the weather is continually getting hotter. Also pray that each of us would continually seek to grow in our personal walks with the Lord.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement! We deeply appreciate it!!
Blessings!
