It Ain't Over Yet

We are all home now, and reflecting on all that God did in our lives, and in the lives of the people of Kalavai Irular Colony. Many things didn't go "right": illness, getting bumped from flights, DVD sound tracks or skips, leaving materials behind, and then having to find them in India, activities that didn't work out, and the list goes on.

But, through it all, we saw that God was committed to accomplishing His purpose in this community! The people responded above and beyond our expectations, and really know that we love them, and that God loves them. The joy they experienced was explained clearly as from God, not us. You can see some of the joy on this video that Bruce put together:

The barriers are coming down!

I would like to introduce you to the couple that have committed to being missionaries to this village, Jeyan and Jensie. They have been in the village a couple months, and have clearly made inroads. They seem to be well accepted by the people. And they are solid Christ-followers. They are an answer to prayer, and our responsibility now is to continue to pray for them.

Pray for their marriage and family.

Pray for their relationship with God.

Pray for the encouragement of other believers.

Pray for effective witness and ministry.

Pray for their ability to disciple the people of the village who come to know Him.

We cannot let up. Satan won't.
