Father God, you have shed your tears for Mother India....


Here are a few more pictures to end my postings on India.  This First picture is of Lauren, Tristan and I at an HC we attended and led while in Mumbai(Bombay).  This was a night of genuine worship, sincere  fellowship, delicious food, and enjoyment of hilarious personalities! What great joy.  Lauren, Tris and I were often in groups to lead HC's...I think the three of us made a great team.  We would trade off jobs with each other and work on developing our different gifts.  One of us would bring the word, one or two of us would share a testimony, and then one of us would keep the flow of things or lead worship.  It was challenging to plan a whole evening quickly, and we never knew when we might be leading an HC so we always had to be prepared wherever we went.



This second picture is interesting because it says first class, and if you would have ridden in first class and never seen that sign you would have never known you were in First Class.  The trains in Mumbai are crazy full in the other classes, people are all kids of squished together. Funny thing is we thought First class was crowded as we stood squished by people in every direction, with no room to move.   But, when we saw the other classes they were some how even worse.  People were basically on top of each other.  Indian's know how to utilize space, an they don't have personal space bubbles......I love them!  There seems to be an unending supply of things to learn from our Eastern friends!
