As you may know by now, travelling through India, not just Sikhs have their heads wrapped in turbans.
Culture - The big issue Hi Dazza, Thanks for your news mate... You have nailed it.. Culture is the big issue in missions. John Stott says that most people don't accept the gospel not because of the message of Jesus but because of the cultural baggage it comes with. We msut shed ourselves of anything that will block someoen hearing. Thats what Phil 2 is all about. God shedding himself, becoming a servant so we might hear him. We can have no greater model. Keep on goin mate....

Tuesday Group Chris,
Our group is continuing to pray for you each week. It's obviously a struggle, but you were expecting that, and it helps rely on God. A huge learning time as well. Not too many of us would be too good in the Indian culture. It will take time.
zzzzzzz They're sleeping bro! I mean, in the Holy Ghost! Hey! gr8 2 hear from U... Life in community and on mission is a tuff gig to get into, but once there it flows.. Proud of you bro! Keep humble.. keep close 2 HIM...
love ya lots us
Toilet Training Chris,
Good to receive your pictures and outline. You must be nearly a month into your course. Let us know how our Tuesday guys can pray. We trust it is going well. Sounds like you are using some good basic Ausie health teaching already. Good stuff, although sounds like you have spent too much time at the loo. God bless, David Everard.
Not in your usual spot Hi Chris,
I'm glad that you're loving it over there already. I have to say that it was a bit strange in church yesterday that you weren't in your usual spot! Take care,
Love Denise.
