Good Bye Karan Hello Drew and Rachel

We had the pleasure of having a friend of the McMillan's, Karan, come and visit us. She is originally from Switzerland but married a guy from Mizoram and is now living in India. The McMillan's enjoyed catching up with her and Raysha and I enjoyed getting to know a new friend. Good times were had!

We said good-bye to Karan and then said hello to Andrew (Known to us as Drew to try and avoid confusion with our Andrew) and Rachel MacCormack from Yellowknife, NWT in Canada. Andrew is a registered nurse and he and Rachel are going to be teaching some wellness classes to the Bible students out at Kalapani. He'll teach them things like first aid and other useful things for village life. We are glad to have them!

P.S Don't forget to go to my previous post and choose a child to pray for!

Introducing My Kids

The following are photos of all but one of the students at the Bread of Life Academy at Kalapani. (I don't have a picture of Usha Sharma, because he has not been to school in a number of weeks) I work with these kids twice a week, teaching them about Jesus. I originally took these photos to help me memorize their names. Every time I've gone through the photos, learning their names, I have spent time praying for each one. I want to invite you to join me in praying for these precious little children. There are 52 students, including Usha Sharma. This is how it will work, choose a child whom you will pray for and then leave a comment stating which child you have chosen. Please be sure to check the comments to see which children are already being prayed for and choose one who doesn't yet have an individual praying for them. As I am able, I will update the post by changing the names of the children who have someone praying for them from white to purple.

"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14b
