I have enjoyed today so much worshipping with Vinay and his Church Family. It is a joy to see their enthusiam in their music and their responsiveness. I am so blessed! Blessings to you! Pastor

Greetings Dear Friends, We visited two remote village areas where Nazarene Churches are working. We had a wonderful service of worship at Gogalaon with Pastor Nelish Patil. Good lunch of goat and other unidentified items. After that, I took a motor cycle ride to the village of Newasa where Pastor Karbhari Chowan is trying to build a church. They are currently meeting in a 10 X 12 Room for worship (a lot of them!) and they want to build a…

We visited a couple very old places today, both in the Aurangabad Area. The Fort was built in the 14th Century. Its massive walls and structures are very amazing. Aurangabad was the Political and Military Center of India for several centuries.. All around the city are large Stone Gates and remembrances of an old dynasty. There are two famous ancient caves in the area. Today we visited the Hindu Caves with a mountainside of temples carved out of the rocks…

Notice the Logo on the front of the Motro Cycle!

There were 11 of us in Vinay’s Jeep for the trip. A lot of laughter (I think mostly at me!).

What a joyful day I have had. I spent about 8 hours with 30 or so Pastors and their wives at a Nazarene Church about 3 Hours from Aurangabad. The trip their and back was very educational (A few pictues attached). But what was so special to me about today was the enjoyment of talking to (through an interpreter) some dear brothers and sisters in Christ who live and minister in such a different culture than I do. I found…

Actually, this is the smaller version of the Taj Mahal which was built around 1639, modeled after (but on a much smaller scale) the real thing in the city of Agra, which is about 450 Miles North of Aurangabad. It is an Islamic Holy Place. The Fountains are empty because of the drought. The lack of rain during the recent Rainy season is a devastating blow to this area. You can see the misery all around, such as with paltry…

Greetings Friends, Today I spent most of the day exploring the Old City of Aurangabad. Ancient City Gates, The ‘2nd Taj Mahal’, An Old Fort of the 17th Century King. This has been a day of learning of Central India History. I also took many pictures of the city, including the traffic, shopping areas, roadside markets, and people. There are many heart wrenching sites. The dryness and lack of rain during the rainy season has put a further strain on…

Hello Church Family, I hope that all of you are doing great. I have had a very great day today seeing some ancient caves and driving past many rural villages. In some ways, today had been more of what I had expected to find in India. I have taken a lot of pictures of people, animals, small grass houses, etc… I do feel that I am in another world. Thankful for good health and no problems so far. Vinay and…

Just Finished two Worship services.  It was so enjoyable.  Many Nazarenes praising God, dressed in amazingly colorful garb.
