We arrived back in the Fantastic USA late Thursday night, June 11. It has taken a week to get back to normal, depending on what normal is! We have looked back at the precious time we had in the villages around Rajahmundry, India and still cannot believe that God chose us to go and minister with and to the people there.
We learned after we had been there about 5 days that Daniel, the father to Williams and Paul, and the Pastor of the church in the village where the orphanage is, had been praying for 25 years for God to send somebody from the United States to minister with him and the other Pastors in the 50 villages. BOY does this make the parable of the persistent widow come to life.
After having a group of Mississippi rednecks for 10 days preach, led a Pastor's conference and hold a 3 day revival with up to 5,000 in attendance, he may be more specific in his prayers!!!! But all joking aside, our personalities fit perfect with the people there. They loved us and we loved them back. When we left from the airport, 15 men and 2 women went with us and we all cried like babies. They cried, I hope, because they had been praying for so long and now we had come and were leaving. AND they did not know if they would ever see us again, BUT we know that we will be back.
This has been an unbelievable trip and we are planning another for after Christmas but before Tax Season. Please be in prayer about getting out of your comfort zone and go!
We love all of you, thank you for your support and prayers.
Steve and Cheryl
