Hello to all,
I spoke to Mr. H last night for the last time prior to them getting on a plane and coming home to the U.S.. We are so excited to see them, all the pictures and video of the trip. The trip has been nothing but amazing as we hear from afar across the satellite and land line what God has done in a far away place.
The children have gotten a Doberman for protection and play so that will be very much fun for them to take care of and enjoy.
I thank you all for your prayers for them.
In Christ,
Jeff

UPDATE FROM INDIA!!!
Hello to all,
Had a call from Jim last night full of good news. Jim and Lori are both feeling much better after Pastor D. gave them some home remedy medicine for their stomach bug. However, Jim is battling some pretty bad heat rash on his torso, however Pastor D. to the rescue with another home remedy. Pastor D. is kind of the local home remedy man of the area, so Jim and Lori are in the good remedy hands of Pastor D. Meanwhile they continue in the great hands of Christ as they have visited a few village churches.
One Pastor they visited was the recipient of a bicycle we purchased for him some 3 years ago, so it was fun for them to meet the pastor and see God's provision at work. However, another Pastor who's name is John is not in very good health. He is only 37 and has a malignant brain tumor which has been operated on 3 times. He has lost half of his memory in the process and is not doing very well. He has a wife and 3 children, so please pray for them all.
Jim stated that the children songs are written by Pastor D's daughter and that they are better than any American children's songs he has ever heard. There is one particular song that every night before bed, the children go up on top of the roof and belt it out for all to hear. I can not wait to see and hear this on video.
Sounds like Lori has memorized all the children's names and is enjoying them greatly. She can not wait to get back in tell Kristie face to face all that she has experienced.
We love you all...
In Christ,
Jeff

Update from India!!!
Hello to all,
Well the phone rang again last night and it was Mr. H. Sounds like they are having a blessed yet somewhat difficult time, as they both have some stomach flu stuff. Sunday service went very well and Mr. H was asked to speak and I am sure it was wonderful. Lord willing they were off to one of the villages to visit others, however that depended on their health. Sounds as though the needs are great, especially for a generator to keep things running when the power goes out 2 times a day. Mr. H is pricing generators, so I am sure this will be an area to pray concerning The Lord providing support to bless the children home with a generator. Please keep them in your prayers.
In Christ,
Jeff

Mr and Mrs. H (our friends) arrived and are doing great!!!!
Hello to all,
Tonight is a night I will never forget. The phone rang at about 10pm and all I could think is "Is it Mr. and Mrs. H calling from India". Well, it was and they are at Bread and Life and are doing wonderful. Kristie and Mrs H. shared tears on the phone as Mrs. H shared how precious the children are at the home. I spoke with Mr H. and he stated that Pastor D is taking great care of them.
They woke up this morning in a surreal state that they are in India at the mission. Even for myself and Kristie it is a surreal moment to know that they are at the mission that God has been caring over for the last 3 years.
Mrs. H stated there are many needs. So we will all be looking forward to their return and report of what The Lord is doing and how else He might use His children to suppor the Work in India.
Please pray for Pastor D's wife as her arthritis in her knees is extremely severe and Mrs H. said Pastor D's wife serves ceaselessly.
May 9th 2009 is a wonderful day for us and all whom have supported this work in India. May God use us further in seeing these 18 children be used for the furthering of His Kingdom.
They were all getting ready for Sunday Service, so I am sure the the report from that service will be nothing but amazing.
We love you all,
Jeff

Time is Near!
Our friends are leaving soon and we will get our
first onsite view of the children and how they are
thriving! Though Jeff and I were not able to make
this first trip, we are so thrilled! We are praying
for the children's needs to be clear and that our
friends will know what to do with the extra monies
we send.
