~India Ministry Trip 2009 with Pictures~
 

I feeling energetic and able to finally post pictures with some details of our trip.

Summary of the Trip:All together about 225 believers in attendance. 12-15 received the Spirit, I think about 10 got baptized, others made new commitments and were strengthened, new pastors are joining the work. We made connections to a group out of Chennai, the pastor there has over 200+ Churches, overall a great trip. The last day I got really sick. But minor compared to the gains.

I will try and post some information with pictures to give you a photo-documentary of the trip.

You can solve much of India's Hunger problems by eating the roving bovines that wander every where. Right outside our hotel.

Beginning of the Conference, every meeting was about the same, 4-5 Songs with worship lasting about 1 hour. They are passionate in worship, vibrant, demonstrative, responsive to the worship leaders.

Our accommodations were exceptional, comparable to any 4 Star Hotel in the States, it was a needed respite to escape the intense heat, that took a real toll on me.

The Second Day, I started the day looking good and refreshed, but the heat beat me up, I came back worn down and overheated.
