Today we spent the day with Vivek and with his ministry, "touch the lives'. We were special guests for a day of dedication of a new facility that his ministry has just secured as a place to provide training for the students who led the children's ministries in the slums and in many of the rural areas. Some of these students have been beaten for their faith for their decision to be baptized, but what is unmistakeable is the joy of the Lord in their testimonies. Phil and I were both asked to share with the students and I was able to share about the things that really matter for eternity and to be an encouragement to them by talking about how they are 'filling God's wallet with more pictures of children' who are now found in Jesus! We then went on site to Chaulkhola where we went to see one of the children's clubs in action. They have only started it two weeks ago and there were about 30 children + mothers who listened in. Once again, I was parachuted in to share and I used a plant and a dead branch to talk about letting Christ live in us and His sacrificial love in John 15.
We arrived back at our hotel with just enough time to turn around and head to the train station to head to Samsi in the north. It was an overnight ride and we were in the sleeper car...very cool! At 5:45am we arrived here and the day is packed again with meetings with students and children.
