as far as the country it self go’s i really don’t like it one bit, minstry wise it was a great month hard at times but over all still pretty good when you look at all God has done, lets see we did Vbs two weeks in a row, the first week we had bout 60 kids witch was really good and fun, we started with creation and ended with how to have a relationship with jesus at the end of the week, a lot of kids prayed for salvation pretty cool, we sang a lot of songs did skits and games each one of us spoke a diff day, i spoke bout the life of jesus, India has some of the smartest kids i’ve ever seen, 5 6 and 7 year olds that can speak on avrage at least 4 to 6 diff langages fluently, the 2nd one went well, same format just diff place and only 25 kids
In the evenings we did door to door minstry, some places where good and God has healed people, and some have been a sturgle, like you can fill just a eeky filling in there houses and you can tell they are not really saved but rater just use God as another good luck chram to go with all there 100’s of other gods and idols. we went one day into a restricted muslum area that was pretty intresting, we had to kind’a watch our backs there and only go to certin houses in groups of two so we would not draw that much atention to us,
theres lots of big temples here, all kinds of fake gods and everytime i see one or walk by one or even just see a pic of one i get a really eeky sick filling deep inside me, its like i can fill how God fills bout fake gods and how much he hates them, and me be’n the war minded man that i am with a kind of war minded faith i have been pray’n that all the temples i come in contact with crumble and turn to dust or be cast into the sea, that way the people here can put there faith in Gods power rather then the words of man. went to one of the biggest temples in Hydarbad 2 days ago and was pray’n over it to fall as well 🙂
other minsitrys we have helped at have all been diff, some really ruff and hard things to see, really heart breaking, chopped some fire wood and did some landscaping work at an HIV home, pretty sad place cause the people and lil kids there that are Hiv positive will spend there whole lives there in that compound just waiting to die, but on the flip side most of them there are saved and are the most joyful people you would ever meet,
another place we went to is pretty hard to talk about, was a homeless shelter for people they got off the streets that where almost dead, the hardest thing to see was where the kids stay, they don’t have anybody there to help them much cause nobody want to work in a place like that, i won’t describe any of the stuff i’ve seen, its was very Humbleing,
if you ask how has God worked in me this month, well its been a hard month, i know i’ve been more free and open with be’n myself then i’ve ever been, but at the same time God has shown me how truly selfish i really am and he has been teaching me how much this life of travel and on the go is not for me, thou it was a dream and something i thought i was made for, he has thought me other wise, and the place i’ve talked bad bout so much and have hated most of my life, God has changed my heart in that and for the first time in my life i can actully say i love America, haha i can’t even belive myself that i’m even saying that. the hardest sturggle of all this month is loseing my Mary again, but all i can do is trust God to carry me through and trust his plan, even when it hurts, gots to be like Dory and just keep swiming, and know that God’s got this, and i just ask that yal would be pray’n more for Mary then for me in that.
so its been Good month minstry wise, Bad food wise (did i mention i hate the food here and got sick and after throwing up the weird Indian food witch all taste the same i couldn’t stomach it after that anymore, and have really not been eating anything at all, so i’ve lost some wight) and somewhat Ugly personally and between me and God bout stuff back home and was actully really close to go’n home, or better way to say it is go’n back to my towns since i have no place i truely concider home, but God is faithful and just and i know He’s got this, the good the bad and the ugly
