We left Quiet Corner in the early morning on Saturday and arrived in Bangalore 8 hours later. We have made that trip six times since 2008. Each time we discover new sights. There are so many people in India. There is so much traffic, so much poverty, illiteracy and superstition. MissionIndia 2014 is complete. Did we make a difference? We think we did. Between the Jesus Conference, The Medical/Good News Outreach, The Hindu Couple Night, the visits to the villages, the Women's Conferences, the Servant Leadership Bible School and the invitations to speak at church services, we were able to reach approximately 1300 people with encouragement and hope.

Servant Leadership Bible School
Class of 2014 |
 |
| QCI Tailoring School Graduates |
The Bible School concluded with each student receiving a certificate of achievement and a gift pen. It was a great time of celebration. The following day we attended the graduation of the sewing school class. Six girls completed the program and received their own sewing machine to take home. Each one shared their testimony of how they came to faith in the God of the Bible. Bev sent them off with an encouraging message to continue on with the skills they learned and with their faith.

| Sushueel, Sei & Ashvath |
Three young men who attended the Bible School, Ashvath, Sei, and Sushueel, invited us to attend church with them in Banglaore on Sunday. An invitation was also given to Sal to preach there. It was a great morning. We were most impressed with the amount of young people that attended. We were told that 70% of the church population is made up of people under the age of 35. After church we were treated to a wonderful lunch and tour of the India Institute of Science - a 600 acre campus with a student body of 3,000. Sei will receives his doctorate from there this year in nuclear fusion.

| Good Bye! |
Tomorrow will be a day of rest and shopping. Tuesday we will pack and prepare for the long journey home. We are all excited to see our family and church again. We are all praying for a change of weather in Wisconsin before we land. We are quite adjusted to this wonderful 80 degrees.
Please pray for the Kish's and Massa's as they return home to the USA. Thank you and God bless all who followed the blog and sent us encouraging comments. As of this writing we have counted nearly 3,000 page views. That is a record!!!
