I have some good and bad news for you today. Kyren, Pravaysh's wife is pertty exhausted but has made it through her C-section surgery. Unfortunately the baby didn't make it through the delivery. Please continue to pray for both of them as they have gone through quite the ordeal lately! Proverbs says that hope deferred makes the heart sick. I've tasted of that in some ways in my life but never with the depth of carrying a baby for 9 months only to lose him in the last seconds. As heartbreaking as this is for them, they remain strong and positive. They're thankful God's goodness despite the harsh reality of what has just happened. Pravaysh is man of God who's going to bring kingdom, life and love into some far reaches of India. May the Lord bless Him extravagently.
We've been here for about a week and it feels like we've been here about three. I'm hopeful to put up a few pics soon but know that God has put us on the fast track to freedom. It's sufficiently satisfying to see God absolutely rock these guys in various ways already. We're all finding out more of what the cost is to walk in freedom and that train drives right through brokenness. Some serious crap has already hit the fan in a very real and good way. There is an openess and vulnerability with these guys and I'm honored to be among them as we all become brothers. We're never really sure what a day will have in store and we're learning to really take one day at a time…and not worry about tomorrow. These guys won't be the same when they get home…even if they were to leave today. Please pray for His favor and guidane and release from the junk we've held onto and the life and freedom we're about to walk into.
So today we feel the ripples of losing a child of a friend who feels much closer than 4 days. We also feel the ripples of His love as we are getting found on the path to freedom.
