Written by Helen. The book of Acts was one of the topics we looked at today. As part of his teaching, Mike explained that Acts 1:8 was a quick summary of the whole book, and I was reminded that we are all called to be part of the mission of Acts 1:8, and to be […]

Written by Ross Wandhanalu, Today was an early start compared to yesterday – 7:15 for breakfast, then 8 o’clock for a briefing. We were ready in the lobby to be picked up at 8:30 where we found out that the pastors hadn’t even started breakfast yet. So it wasn’t as early a start as we […]

Hallelujah, Praise the lord! Elyse writing today. Welcome to week two of teaching! We are in Vijayawada teaching some 44ish pastors from the state of Andhra Pradesh.

We crossed a large river approximately […]

Written by Helen Meredith. “Hallelujah, praise the Lord!” is a phrase we have heard many times a day throughout our time here, spoken by our Indian friends. It is also the most appropriate phrase for me to use at the end of this day to begin this blog! Today was our last day with the […]

By Keith Wiencke Our day started once again with breakfast. Today for me it was a happy meal (see picture below). Then a team briefing to preview units 7, 8 & 9 and prayer before we set off through the amazing Indian traffic to the training centre. It’s a pleasant 10 minute journey. Adele shared […]

Written by Roy Hazelwood. Today was again full of the rich sounds and spicy aromas of exciting India! Most of the crew sampled curry for breakfast while I gave my system a rest with toast but made up for it with delicious butter chicken for lunch. We all travelled in auto rickshaws or tuktuks to […]
