Day 11
Saturday. We have been so busy every day for the last 10 days straight. Today we have a bit of a lighter load. All we have for speaking is the crusade tonight, and Zach Lamberson is delivering the message, so I have a day off.
We are using the day to get all of our shopping done. All of us have families and loved ones to buy things for, so we headed to the mall. The new mall here is actually pretty impressive. It is very modern and everything is new. Its hard to believe you are in India when you walk in this place. Everyone got their souvenirs and filled out their gift lists. We also purchased a bunch of sari’s, handbags, purses, silks, and jewelry for a church dinner/fundraiser when we return. We are planning on having a night at the church with dinner and an auction to give testimonies about the trip and raise some more funds for the ministry. Its more for giving encouragement than for raising money, but we know that many people asked us to get these items for them, so we are hoping this will be a win/win for everyone.
We went to the crusades and enjoyed some more great worship and colorful skits. Zach got up and preached the lights out, challenging them to respond to the gospel. Caleb and his church were excited to see many new faces there, and even more so when the call to make a decision was made. At least a hundred more people stood to their feet and prayed to receive Christ when the call was made. We all rejoiced in the Lord and his mighty power as we were witnesses to so many changed lives.
We asked them to come forward for prayer again and laid hands on many sick people, many people suffering with bondage to addiction, and many people, young and old, seeking the blessing of God on their lives. It is such an honor and privilege to be used by the Lord in the changing of a life for good.
We are seeing the fruit of your prayers. Keep up the good fight! We only have one day left!
