Team B

That is how long the flight is from Frankfort to O'Hare. Team B is a little more than 3 hours into that leg of the journey home as I write this. We miss them a lot, especially the nightly light shows up on the roof. We spent the final day together visiting the sewing school, shopping and lunch in Gudalar and ending the day visiting a poor village on the elephant corridor. There were tears and hugs as we said goodbye and prayed for a safe journey home.

Bev speaks to the sewing girls

Friday afternoon, it was off to the Sewing School, where Bev shared an encouraging message with the girls. This class of girls will graduate in April. They all have converted to Christianity as a result of the time spent at the school. They all asked for prayer because their families make it difficult for them because of their new found faith.  

Today is Saturday. Right after breakfast Sal, Bev, Kris and Elena were taken up to Ooty for a women's conference. About 50 women attended and a young girl, 10 years of age, accepted Jesus as her savior at the end of the first session. Several women shared how the messages had helped them with struggles. After the conference we ate with Pastor Jacob at a Chinese Restaurant.

Now our attention will turn to the Bible School which begins Monday morning. We have no real idea how many students will attend. The registration is open and we keep hearing of people still planning to come. It will be a surprise to see how many do attend. Sunday after church will be a study day for Sal, Tom and Elena as well as getting Mercy Hall transformed into a school room.

Thanks for reading the blog and supporting us with your prayers.
