The children are doing GREAT!! And the facilities are first class.

While in India we conducted leadership training for area pastors, spoke at the Bible school graduation services and spoke about missions at Life Fellowship church Sunday morning.

The humility of the Indian people is always overwhleming.

For days they pray and fast before our arrival.

The children serve constantly and are extremely curious and well behaved. During the 3:45 hour graduation service none of the 25 children acted disrespectful or talked! And any time they were given an assignment, they did it immediately.

(For those of us in America that last paragraph may sound foreign. There is a lot we can learn from Indian culture about respect and expectations. )

Sunny Lukos from RIMI was our host and guide for the trip. His heart and focus for reaching the people groups of India and helping orphans is amazing. His constant prayers of thanksgiving shows why this work has been so successful in this region.

SP Samuels is the director of the Mercy Home. His strong leadership and humble spirit are a powerful combination. His heart for the Lord and his love for the fatherless shows in every action and word.

SP lives the spirit of our Father – Deuteronomy 10:18 “He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the alien, giving him food and clothing.”

Blessings!

The children are now in the Mercy Home!!!

THANK YOU for your support!

The trip was amazing – even with a 41 hour detour!!

The Lord is doing BIG things in India.

Our team (Wes Gunn, Brandon Phillips, and myself), conducted graduation ceremonies in the Mandi and Kerala. We did some pastoral leadership training. And surveyed all the current construction.

Blessings!
