We are at Christy and Lucy's house again saying our goodbyes and wanted to jump online and tell you all what's been going on. We would like to send this (possibly final) blog out to Brett who has been a great inspiration to our sister Cindy. It's been great to read your comments and know that you are thinking of us, bro. I can't wait to meet you. It reminds me of the last trip to India when we got comments from two guys names Rob and Lee. It's cool to hear from brothers and sisters while we're on the other [View Full Entry]

Well, it's our last full day here and it's shaping up to be very busy. If my wife and son were here I know I would want to stay longer. But I can't wait to see them again!!!! I won't tell you everything we've been doing, I'll let the others write what has been impacting them. I will just tell you all how amazing they have been doing. Cindy has changed right in front of my eyes! I thought she was so quiet and shy and have been blown away by her heart to share and DANCE!!!!! I must admit I [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone, Ben here! We are in Trivandrum and everything is going well. After a leaders meeting Monday night we took a train from Cochin and pulled into the station at 3:30 am. We came to the hotel and tried to sleep before Christy and Lucy (Christy is a guy...Lead Evangelist in TVM) came over for a devotional. Then we went out and invited people to church. We met up for a coffee and ice cream bar and the Damon, Christy, and I headed back out. After lunch visited some homes and took a short rest before church. We did the [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone, right now we are getting ready to eat dinner at Saji and Sheeba's house. Unlike last time, our group is small enough to eat out. We don't have to eat the meal's at the hotel and that gives us the opportunity to eat with disciple's and sample some interesting restaurants (Indian Chick-King). Damon amazes the sisters in the kitchen, both Sheeba and Smiley can't believe what he is capable. Ericka is in the bedroom studying the Bible with one of the visitors we had to church. Autumn and Cindy are playing cards in the living room and Doureen has [View Full Entry]

Hi everyone, Ben here! I got to talk to Jen yesterday and she let me know that Ev has to have surgery in a few weeks. A little bit more intensive but at least I'll be able to be there with him. I'm sure the others will tell you all about the amazing things we've been doing. The HOPE home for abandoned women was inspiring and heart breaking. A lot of the same women from last time, a few have passed away, a few have joined, and a few more have become disciples. The story that always tears me apart is [View Full Entry]

Hey everyone! It seems like it's been a long time but really just a day. We took an night train from Coimbatore to Cochin and spent the whole first day on our feet. We were supposed to go to Kottayam today but they are having an outbreak of wild fever so it's not safe. Some of us got to ride an elephant and that was awesome! After that we went to visit a sister in the hospital and basically invited her whole ward to church. From there we went to visit Premna who the last team will remember as our awesome [View Full Entry]

Dear Bros and Sisters, What a joy it is for us to have the disciples from the Detroit region visit us.Ben preached a powerful and a convicting message on faith & deeds and how to have a serving heart, in the 12 th year anniversary service. Dammon did an incredible lesson about how to be an approachable leader for our disciples. Doureen shared about her life, which really convicted all of us to have a higher standerd of righteousness and not to grumble about the pain and the sickness we go through. We are so convicted about their sacrifice and their [View Full Entry]
