We’ve been home for nearly three weeks. We’ve received a couple of emails from Pastor Damodar, the head pastor over the Banjara For Christ Society. The work we did while we were there yielded some fruit. We preached in 32 thadas (villages) and 27 people accepted Christ, while 35 others expressed interest in people coming back to talk to them more about Jesus. We also had 40 men in our training sessions and 50 women in the women’s classes. Almost 400 people showed up for the final rally and heard the gospel preached.
Life is steady for the pastors in India (as though it would have stopped when we came home right?). Pastor Damodar has notified us there are still pastors going deep into the country to follow up in the thandas where we people expressed interest while we were there. People are still accepting Christ as their Savior even now and the gospel continues to be preached by our Banjara Christian brothers!
This morning we received notification that Damodar’s wife, Sush, is sick. Apparantly she has chicken pox. I’m not sure how serious a thing this is in India, but he says she’s throwing up a lot and she has a rash. He also says that their daughter, Goldie, doesn’t understand why she can’t go near her mom. Their kind of worried about her, she’s only about a year old. They are more worried for Sush though, Sush is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met. She always works so hard to make sure we are taken care of in India. We love her as our sister in Christ and hope she gets better soon. She is in our prayers, as well as the rest of her family and the pastors who are still spreading the gospel.
Get well Sush.
