Apologies


I must give an apology to all of my faithful blog readers for not posting lately. Time has gotten away from me this past week. I want to update everyone that the family with major problems I discussed in the last post is doing a little better. The leaders of the Fellowship got together with the family and they were able to work out some of the problems. They have all agreed to move home to the village for awhile and try to work things out. It is a huge blessing and step forward that the missionaries were able to stay out of it. I say this because we are working hard right now to help the Indian church look more Indian. We want the Indian leaders to make these big decisions and handle the big problems.

We are also grateful for the opportunities to worship with several churches over the weekend. We went to a service at Kottur in Chennai and enjoyed meeting the believers there. They were very interactive during Robs sermon and they were very nice to us. Rob also went to a parsonage dedication. This was neat because a man in the church saved money for years to help contribute to the addition of a parsonage and vestibule for the church. He was so happy to give what he had saved. I was blessed to see those with so little give so much. I hope that his spirit of giving is passed to all of those we serve.

Please pray for us this week that we always look to the Lord. I have been a little frustrated lately and I need to remember that we do this for the Lord and the Lord alone.
