I cannot believe that the trip is nearly over, but there are so many things I want to share with everyone. First, God has done GREAT things through this team, and it has been an absolute delight every moment. Second, the Lord is doing amazing things in India, and it has been a privilege to be a part of that for 10 days!
I will share three things you should know, and then a video.
1) Five of us from the team were bumped from our flight before leaving India, and they are making us wait 13 hours before routing us through a complicated system of layovers and delays with an expected arrival 20+ hours later than planned. (No worries, they are taking good care of us - see photo below.)
2) During our time in the village, every child was engaged by the gospel and transformed by God's love. Every parent was encouraged in their journey and empowered to play with their kids (some for the first time). Even the village elders danced to the tune of "Little Sally Walker" while the rest of the village cheered. So much emotion was seen during our final award ceremony as each person was told that they embodied specific character traits as image bearers of God.
3) A group of 10 church planters traveled 14 hours on Thursday to see the program because they had heard on the first day that it could revolutionize the way they do ministry in India. We were able to talk with them over lunch and dinner the final day as they asked for us to bring a similar program to their villages and train them in what we did.
**And finally, as promised, a video!**
