It Begins

   It has been a very long journey but we are finally here! We have started the process of being acquainted with the area and are now settled in our homes for the summer.  In the very short time that we have been here, we have met some amazing people that will greatly assist us during our time here.  
   We have been extremely blessed by the local believers that have already made contacts and currently have thriving ministries.  In only 3 days, we have had the opportunity to attend a bible study, a church service, and meet tons of students/young adults from various backgrounds.  
   Below are some pictures that we have taken over the few days that we have been here.

PRAYER REQUESTS

• Aunt Mary and Uncle Richard as they are our caretakers for these next few weeks.  
• The local believers that we have already made contact with that will be helping us meet new students.
• A local Hindu man that has a foot problem
• Please pray for not only his physical health, but we will be in contact with him soon about meeting for lunch or dinner
• One of the women in the local church lost her grandfather, who was not a believer.  She is the only believer in her family, so please pray for strength and courage during this time.
• Pray that we would not be led by the things that we have previously learned but only by the Spirit.

Thank you so much for your prayer and encouragement!
