We have officially arrived. After many hours of flying, walking, waiting in lines, we have finally arrived. I feel like the last three days have been a series of naps (that's all we've really had time for). It's 10PM India time and I'm settling down for our first full night of sleep.
Tonight was the first evening of the Pastor's Conference. We arrived to the delight of several hundred pastors who decided that there was something worth walking and waiting in the rain for...His name is Jesus. Pastor Gary and Pastor Joel started off the night. Joel taught a message on the person and work of Christ and compared it with the things we sometimes wrongly believe about Jesus. He affirmed out of Psalm 103 the "correct things" that we need to say about who Jesus is.
Pastor Gary had everyone rolling in their seats. I'll have to tell you why later. The content of his message focused on understanding who we are in light of Jesus Christ. It was a great way to start off the conference and the Pastors were very encouraged and on their feet despite a long day of traveling--not just for us, but for the Pastor's who drove several hundred miles to be here as well.
Other highlights:
- All of the orphanage supplies arrived fine and we were able to get them delivered to the orphanages.
- The food has been amazing...even the airplane food has Indian flair and taste and is
delicious !!
- Ed Delph arrived and hooked up with us in Vishakapatnam.
- Although we're tired, we try to take naps whenever we can. I think that's what John is doing (see picture below.
I should be getting to bed now so i can begin the cycle of waking up on time in India. Thank you all for you continual prayers for fruit and safety.
Serving the King,
Dhondi
