This morning we participated in Sunday worship with Veer and his friends. It was surprising how many similarities there were between Indian worship and American worship. Veer led the Indians in singing Hindi hymns, while John Hughes led the English speaking people in praise and worship music, accompanied by his guitar. After we sang, Dr. Smith and Pastor Brooks each gave a mini-sermon that was translated into Hindi by Veer. We then partook in the Eucharist and were able to observe Veer consecrate the elements in Hindi. Veer passed out naan while one of his friends followed him with some grape juice tasting liquid. We concluded the service with an offering and shaking everybody's hand telling them, "Praise to the Lord." With the exception of the Hindi, worship with Veer was much like mine. It was truly an unforgettable experience.
This is our last day at Veer's compound, and I am sad to go. I will miss all the boys here, especially Jeremiah (the boy I am holding) dearly. However, I cannot wait to experience the other parts of India, and for that, I am ready to move on.

We are glad the performance went well and are confident He will use this to Expand the enrollment at Veer's school and thus expand the Kingdom. God is good all the time -- Can't wait to read the "Rest of the STORY" GOOD DAY!!

WOW- something we've said many times since you all have been gone. Impressive to know that God is working great things through the Faith delegation. Seems that God IS God everywhere in the world, despite language barriers. Love the pictures. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story either......
