We’re in India!
Our travels over the weekend went smoothly and we arrived safely in New Delhi.
For our third mini
stry site we’re in New Delhi, India at Asha Mission Children’s Home. Asha is currently home to 33 children ranging in age from 1 to 17 years old. The home sadly only has about 5 rooms in it. There are 2 bedrooms for the kids with only 6 beds in each room. Most of them sleep on the flat roof at night since it’s cooler anyways. Mr. and Mrs. Sarma run the place with the help of two other full-time workers. They also have many World Race teams come to help. We’re the sixth this year. It is a Christian organization and the Sarmas do a wonderful job of teaching God’s Word to the kids and showing them what it looks like to live out the love of God.
Our team is sharing a small two-room apartment. This is the middle of the second largest city in India so I know we probably have some of the nicest accommodations. We’re extremely blessed with running water, a shower, and fans to cool us off at night.
Our ministry is to simply play with the kids, help them with their homework, and help with chores while the kids are at school. They are filled with joy and energy and love playing with us. Every evening they have a service where we tell a Bible story, sing songs, and teach memory verses. These kids are impressive with the amount of Scripture they can recite!

Pray for me and my team this month as we love on these kids and encourage the workers at Asha! That we can be purposeful with our time and really pour into the people here. Thanks for your prayers and support!
