Yesterday was a travel day, so I didn't have the chance to do any blog updates. On Saturday morning we visited a piece of land that local leaders have purchased in order to set up a ministry center. We went there to pray and also to see their outreach to local widows. We gave out rice to widows, many who walked miles in the heat to get there. It was really an incredible moment to see Julie praying with the women and encouraging them with a message of hope from the Bible.
After one final meal with Muthu's family, they dropped us off at the airport in Trichy. We flew from Trichy to Chennai, and then from Chennai to the other side of India at Mumbai. It's a city of 24 million people, so it was quite a sight to take in. It was about a three hour drive from the Mumbai airport to visit the home of our North Way East End global partners, Jose and Sarah Joseph. We'll be staying with them for a few days to learn more about their ministry and how our congregation can be effective supporters to them from Pittsburgh.
Their home is very nice, and we're having a great time hearing stories from all of the work that God is doing through their ministry. The weather is much cooler here since we're at a much higher elevation. There is a cool breeze that has been coming through the house all day. It's very refreshing considering the heat that we experienced in Trichy. Trichy was an amazing place, though. We will miss our new friends very much, and hopefully we'll be able to back again some time.
Well, not much to report today. We're just trying to get caught up on some rest and relaxation before we check out some of the ministries here in this part of India this week. I'm looking forward to being able to share at the school here tomorrow. The highlight of today was a hike we took with Jose and Sarah to what must be one of the most beautiful places in India. It was one of the highlights of our trip so far after an intense week of teaching last week. I'll try to get some more photos up in the next couple of days. Thank you for the continued prayers and support!
