Thanking God in India

I just had to write a couple more quick notes. As Dennis and I were being escorted by to home base from the seminars just now, there were pastors on motorcycles as our unknown by others guards. God is taking care of every detail.

These trips are life changing. I am so amazed at all the details that God is providing for. When I have not felt strength to speak, He has provided. Even though I have not slept well, He has seen that I am not sleepy during the day either. Even though I was worried about the food, I am enjoying it greatly. I am realizing that I have not always trusted in Him to provide all as much as I should. Pray that this lesson would stay with me forever.

Here is another small matter that God has done for me on this trip. Finally after many days of services, we had a little break one afternoon. We went to the river, crossed it in a boat that looked very much like the boats in the bible I am sure. While there on the otherside, I was horseplaying with the orphange boys. Here I pulled my hamstring. If you have any idea what this is, you know what I am taking about. Remember, we came about a mile by walking to get to the river. I was in pain. Now I had to just stand or sit with no more horse play.

During this time, our fisherman pastor friend that had alone rowed us to the other side, explained his fishing to me. How interesting. This must have been how the fishermen in the bible did it. All the old ways with a small wooden boat, paddle, and nets for the fishing. After this, when it was time to go back to the house, I hobled and was helped as needed.

When we got there, it was only a few minutes and what do you know, a doctor walked in the door. This doctor was not called, but was a member of the congregation. He had to move to the city from this village in order to make a living for his family. But now he came back and he came into the house! I have never in my life had a doctor walk into my house. But this does not stop here.

This was the end of my stay here, and where to we go next. To a doctors home. I have never stayed in one before! Wow, See, God is in charge of all even the little things in our lives. This Doctor has greatly helped my leg already. I noticed that I was able to climb steps slowly now with both legs.

All Praise, Honor and Glory be to God! God's Peace! John
