SUNDAY IN INDIA

Today we went on a picnic at a beautiful park where elephants used to roam. Well, we didn't see any elephants, but we did have some great fun with monkeys. They are a little agressive, but we played it safe.

The boys played lots of cricket and soccer while others went swimming. Then after gathering for a lunch, we were treated to some good local culture music performed by a few of the mentors.

A most exciting time was with some young men from surrounding countries. I will explain more later in person, but this is a most exciting opportunity to lift us Jesus there in a unique way.

I had some meaningful conversations with several of the mentors at the picnic today. One of them told me that all of the mentors hung around Stephen's casket for two days and cried night and day. They are broken-hearted, but feel like they must carry on his vision throughout the world. It's an amazing experience hanging out with these young men who are purely and simply following Jesus. It's revolutionary!
