Day 2

Wow!!! Today was an amazing day of ministry!

We started off the day being split into two teams. Josh, Larry, Smirna, Robin, and I went to a Bible college and each of us got the chance to speak to the students. Josh shared from 1 and 2 Timothy about being obedient to your calling. Smirna shared from Ezekiel 47 and how those students and us are the temple of the living spirit, and living water flows from us to give life to those who are dead. Wow. Larry shared about the authority we are given from Jesus from Matthew 10. Robin shared from Matthew 4 about being fishers of men. I finished up with the importance of the gospel and how it has saved us, is saving us, and will save us from 1 Corinthians 15.

Then we met up with the rest of the team at the wedding. Amilcar got to do his very first wedding in India!!!! He will definitely never forget that first wedding. It was beautiful. At the reception, I kind of persuaded everybody to try the warm buffalo milk that they all drink. Haha. That was funny...nobody got sick. :)

Then we got to visit the HIV/AIDS hospice that Harvest India owns. Wow. What an experience. There was a 14 year old boy there with AIDS who we played with and he told the translator he was so happy because usually people just come and say hi then leave. I, Charlie, let him play Angry Birds on my phone. He loved that.

We went to an elderly home after that where Larry blessed all the people to open. Karina then shared a bit of her testimony and reminded them all that this life is temporal and that they have a future in heaven. It was great. Then Carlos shared a bit and prayed.

It was really a phenomenal day. Tomorrow we will do the leprosy camp, a mercy ministry (food), and more. I'm sure it will be amazing too.

Please pray for continued boldness and health for the team. Some are getting little colds...nothing serious:)
