The second day of clinic was another great day. We saw many people and gave out many glassses. We continue to be grateful for our translators and the many people serving alongside us.
The real highlight of the day for us was that we got to go to a house church meeting with Pastor Daniel and Elizabeth and join them in worship. These amazing people had been singing and worshipping well before we arrived and were enthusiastic in their worship, prayer, and offerings to God.
They were worshipping outside (we were slightly chilled and we are from Michigan; the temperature is quite cold for them), sitting on the concrete ground, not far from the family cows (the farmer was very proud of his cows and insisted that Ray took photos of them). It really hit me while worshipping with them how incredible their faith and joy for the Lord is. I have never worshipped while being cold and smelling farm animals and I’m thinking I wouldn’t be excited to do that all the time. Yet they were all so filled with passion.
And then two families welcomed us into their homes and shared food and fellowship with us. We enjoyed their company and hospitality. The second was the home of our driver for the week. After sharing some time with him and his wife, they took us to his 27 year old daughter. She is a beautiful, young woman that had complications after surgery and has a chronic bone infection. We had the distinct privilege to pray for her and try to encourage her. She wept after prayer and many of us did, too. Please join us in praying for this young lady ... for her health, for the medicine and medical team treating her, for her strength, and for her spirit to be renewed.
We had another incredibly long day, but every lost minute of sleep was worth it to witness how God is working among the ministry here in Punjab.
Today, we are getting ready for a day of worship. We are excited to join with the family of faith here and lift our hearts and our hands to our mighty God!
May your time of worship be uplifting!
In His love,
Your India Mission Team
