Chai tea

Greetings from the state of Bihar,
Last night we left our sweet friends at the Bhastra Christian Center in West Bengal. We took a passenger train for about 9 hour overnight ride. It was a sleeper train, so we all had our own bunk, the train was old and dusty and two sweet little boys starred at us all night with our white skin. About every thirty minutes, a vendor would walk down the eisle, stand at our bunk and yell, "Chai, Chai Tea", just about the same time we would get back to sleep. This morning when we arrived at our stop, we found that we had to jump on to the track with all of our bags as quickly as possible, that was interesting.
Last night, before leaving West Bengal, we visited a mud hut that was one of many house churches in Bhastra. This was a womens literacy group.,four of the ladies on our team including myself, kerrie, josie and faith, shared words of healing and encouragement. Romans 8:1, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ". There were 20 women and girls that received prayer and were healed and delivered from physical and emotional pain, it was truly a work of the Holy Spirit, as we had not prepared anything to share.

We love and Miss all of you and covet your prayers. The state of Bihar has been referred to as a graveyard of missonaries, no one wants to come here.
Tonight we will have a healing and evangelism event, and tomorrow we begin work in the orphange.
We are staying in the home of a gracious Muslim family that has leased their home to us this week

To God Be the Glory!
