Selfies
It took a little while to get adjusted to India. In another newsletter I had reported feeling like people were suspicious of us, or had a watchful eye. In reality though, it was more of a curiousity. We are a family of 7 of white skin folks and with two of kids with blonde hair. Where we were staying...

Thinking About the Pandemic
Have you ever just looked around in wonder at how this tiny, microscopic virus, that has spread like wildfire, managed to close the world? I have certainly wondered that. But I also wonder and look forward to seeing, how God is going to use this virus for his purposes and...

By Jakin

Persecution Example
The environment is a little different here compared to Nepal. There is a reason that India is #10 on the world watch list for persecution. There is more of a suspicious eye towards foreigners and more vigilant defense of the Hindu faith. One of our team members...

At the Bihar Police Station
As required in the state of Bihar, if you stay in the state more than 15 days you need to report to the police station and register your presence with them. I went with my friend to the police station with all seven passports for a talk with the head of police. As we were walking...

Thanksgiving in Nepal
One advantage about being in Nepal is that I am 11 hours and 45 minutes ahead of US Central Time. So, we ate our Thanksgiving Dinner about 5 hours ago (5:00 PM local time), which was 5:15 AM Central. As I write this, your turkey has been in the oven for a few hours and you...
