Nagercoil Day 5

We traveled approximately an hour to reach our destination, which is a Christian school that admits to 300 children. It was a beautiful school, because the Bible is the main focus and majority of the teachers are Christians. Kat, Kristin, Mykaela and Elizabeth sang, performed a skit, and Elizabeth gave her testimony. The school administrator gave each one of us a gift, which was so precious. Afterwards, the school administrator took us back to her office and fed us with some yummy Indian treats. The school was located inland and among rubber tree, jack fruit, pineapple and pepper vegetation farms. The scenary was breathtaking. Dr and Mrs Spurgeon took us to a waterfall, a infamous dam and an amazing aquaduct bridge with a walkway that gapped two mountains. After our scenic tour, we came home to rest before we minister to the girls at the Charity Home. Again, the girls excited to see us, but we still have a language barrier, which makes it hard to share Christ. The girls performed the skit--"A Humble Heart", which is based on the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, who go into the temple to pray and the Pharisee boasts of his wonderful accomplishments and the tax collector beats his chest in humility.

How often do we go into church and boast of things that we have accomplished in Christ's name? May we come to worship Him in humility.

Overall, two of the team members is struggling with car sickness--one severe and the other not so severe. The roads in India are basically one lane and very bumpy and windy. I believe it affected most of us. Spiritually, we are standing strong in the Lord and the girls are bonding very well. They have been supportive of each other as well as compliment each other. This team is His team and we praise Him for this team.

Today, we travel again, so please pray for our team members who get car sickness. We are continuing to adjust to the culture, so please pray for us, because the luxuries of America have spoiled us.

Thank you again for your support.

In Christ Alone,
Dean
