Rob is learning that in both Islam and Hinduism Jesus is highly revered. Our Shiva professor holds Jesus in the highest regard and believes he was a great man. He just cannot accept him as Lord. The same is true with the Muslim professor. Where do we go wrong in sharing Christ if people truly believe he lived as a great man but do not see Him as Savior? Rob and I are going to be studying more and more the uniqueness of Christ and how to share God's gift of grace with these people. Please pray for wisdom on how to share the truth with these seekers.
Today we also were able to meet with Kirubakkaran. He is a man who runs a ministry in a village about 6 hours from here. He saves babies which have been abandoned to die. He has been called several times to the hospital by nurses who have heard a witch doctor tell a family that they must kill their baby because the baby is cursed. Kirubakkaran comes and speaks with the family and encourages them to give the baby up for adoption rather than kill the baby like they were advised. In all he has saved over 170 children. I have been able to meet one of the little boys which was adopted by a local family. He is adorable. Kirubakkaran has a dream of opening an orphanage for over 1000 children. There are definitely this many children who need homes so this is a practical request. He struggles monthly to provide for these children but God always provides. Right now he is in the process of obtaining more land for this ministry. I am excited to see the way God will work through him. He is very humble and sweet. He does not know English so we must communicate through a translator. I hope to be able to visit his ministry and share pics when I am able to travel:) Please pray for his protection as he ministers in a tough area.
We also spent some time helping the Wrights prepare to go home. They leave tommorow evening so that will make things interesting. I will miss them a lot:( but I am glad that they get to go home with their families and rest.
