Though every day is a little different, we wanted to share with you what
a “typical” day in the life is like for us here in Kolkata, India.
Enjoy!
8am: Wake up. Pray, read bible, journal, drink a pack of room temperature Starbucks VIA (okay, that last part is just me).
10am: Breakfast at the children’s home.
11-1pm:
“ATL (Ask the Lord). Some days we prayer walk the neighborhood and meet
our neighbors, other days we fellowship and worship with one another,
sometimes we take quiet times with God or scurry over to the internet
cafe to connect with friends and family back home.
1pm: Lunch
2pm-4pm:
Study with the children. They take their exams this week, so keep these
precious little ones in your prayers. Many of them come from villages
that speak different languages than what they speak here (Bengali). And
all of their books are in ENGLISH and their classes are taught in
ENGLISH, so catching up is a big challenge.
4pm-5:45pm: FUN TIME!! Games of cricket and throw throw fill our afternoons (throw throw is a game that’s a little bit
like dodgeball/ Two people are “it” and if you get hit with the ball
you are also “it.” If you’re one of the last two to get hit you win and
are “it” for the next game. Tons of fun!).
5:45pm: TEA TIME! A time we look forward to each day. Coffee or tea and cookies!
6pm: Bath time for the boys.
7pm: Worship and devotionals led by one of us each night with the boys.
8:15pm: Dinner
8:45pm: Say good night to the boys.
9:00pm:
Head home and have team time (feedback from the day, prayer for one
another, sharing testimonies, worshipping together, and laughing
together).
10:30-11:30: Shower rotation!
11:30: BEDTIME! Goodnight 🙂
