Assembly

We've spent most of Friday trying to recuperate from way too many hours on planes and in airports. Most of us crashed the minute we hit the hotel, about 5:30am. Not the Ogallala boys, however. We were up and ready to go so we stayed up until breakfast was being served. A couple real breakthroughs yesterday as we finally found some Indian food that Matt likes. :-) There's a better than average chance that he won't have to survive on just the granola bars and beef jerky he packed.

We met with the rest of the team for a couple of hours yesterday afternoon and it's always great to really get to know them. Our youngest is in his mid 20's and this is his first trip. Our oldest veteran has been on dozens of trips all over the world with e3 and today we have a little celebration for his 80th birthday. Can you think of a better way to celebrate your 80th year? I can't and I can only hope that when I'm 80 I have half the drive and enthusiasm he has.

We spent some more time with Charles Golla, learning about the approach we'll be using in Bihar. I'm excited that this time we will be able to really spend some time in peoples homes, building relationships and actually getting to know them on a real, personal level. We will have three appointments each day and each day will be at the same three locations. The first appointment will be sharing the gospel and the subsequent days will be spent sharing in the same homes and doing I Am Second bible studies with them, the end goal being that they will learn how to lead these studies themselves and this will be the start of a house church.

Our home in Delhi.
