Good Friday

Sonia, hubby Avinash and son Abner arrived on Thursday afternoon.

We had a great time together relaxing, chatting and of course the

big fat Indian wedding thrown in.

They left yesterday and the house feels so empty. On Friday morning Ben visited us.

He is a field worker (coordinator) for student ministries , very similar to Inter Varsity Fellowship.Ben is from South India.

He did his Masters from BHU

(Benares Hindu University) famous all over the world.

After that he dedicated himself to serve the Lord as a

missionary.His dad died when he was in Grade 2.

His mother is a woman of prayer he told us.

My Mom is showing him photos

of our student outreach.

We talked of the days gone by,

and outreach strategies

Ben is new in the field and needs prayers and encouragement.

Please pray for him.

He asked us if we could open our house for a

Bible study, we are glad to do that.

We gave him a packed lunch,

to substitute for his bachelor cooking.

Here are Sonia, Avinash and Abner relaxing under

the grapefruit tree.

They had grapefruit juice too.

And Abner perched himself on the tree and

sang Sunday School choruses all afternoon.
