We arrived safely...which perhaps you heard by now. We were pretty exhausted after 3 flights, a 2 hour drive - all totaling about 2 1/2 days of travel. But all of the team and luggage made it safe.
As we drove back into the very rural part of india to the Sandu's home i couldn't help but think that without proper connections a person could get lost in a country like this never to be seen or heard from again. The first day we got some rest, had some time for team worship & prayer and met many people who stopped by the Sandhu's. It was very apparent that they are a family of influence here. We had the chance to pray for several people throughout the day - including one man in local government who came by on his break. God answered a prayer prayed for a travel visa for one family within the first few hours. We also refreshed ourselves on our drama. We had to practice with a track in Punjab...it took some work but i think we got it.
Today we traveled 5 hours (round trip) to the Golden Temple. It was quite an amazing experience. So many people searching for truth. It was very sad to see men, women & children of all ages as they offered food sacrifices, bowed and sat praying for the blessing of their gods. The deception of hell leading throngs of people to a horrible eternal destiny. There is great need for the One True God to shed His light into their hearts. Something we hope to see happen to many while we are here.
The team is well. Enjoying India very much. We have had several authentic Indian meals now, and they all seem to love that. The girls are getting Indian suits made this afternoon - something they are very excited about.
The next few days include some work projects, and visiting a church and perhaps a school to preform our drama.
Thank you for your prayers - we are encouraged!
Hope to write soon, but internet is sparse and somewhat slower here.
If you are praying for the team & trip please keep the entire Sandhu family in your prayers - they are a vital part of something amazing that God wants to do here.
