Rested
November 26th, 2008
It has been over a week since returning to Kansas and believe it or not I am planning my next trip. Thankfully I have help this time around, a good travel agent, a finance person and a smaller team to take.
For whatever reason the recovery time physically has been more challenging and the adjustment period a little tough; thank the Lord for drugs as they certainly have helped me sleep through the night. I hate waking up at 2am, then 3:30am, then 5:00 – why can’t I just sleep like everyone else? The price to be paid for traveling to India.
December 7 is going to be a big day in Tuni, unfortunately I won’t be there to enjoy it. Many people have asked me about events happening in Orissa and Madaya Pradesh, states north of Andhra Pradesh where violence is erupting and national Christians are being killed and yes those things are taking place and yet I want to report that the opposite is also taking place. Christian leaders/pastors are coming together and enjoying the freedom of worship and religion that does exist within India and on December 7 it is anticipated that over 10,000 people will gather and celebrate their faith and its freedom as well as pray for those in their country that need a touch from God. It’s too bad that there won’t be any media attention but hopefully I will be able to see the video of this event when I return in February.
I just saw a post that the airport in Bangkok has been swarmed and taken over and that flights are disrupted and order has yet to be restored; just another instance of the possible perils that exist when one leaves the country but in my mind just creates all the more excitment for international travel – Oh how I love it!!!!
So what’s on the horizon for Wells for Life? More projects. I need more funding to drill more water wells. Right now people are waiting for me to come and bring water and I can’t because I don’t have the money, your help though can make it possible to change lives – hundres and thousands all with the stroke of a pen and a check. Go to my website to give at www.wellsforlife.org and visit the How to Give page.
More later…..
