Here is a list of our tentative schedule while we will be in India.
Nov 1: HELLO India....we arrive in Bangalore at 4:00 AM....yep, early morning!
Travel to our home away from home (a hotel somewhere...) Carla says we get to have some chai and then we head to a Special Sunday celebration. Carla to deliver a message and we have the privilege to distribute books to new believers. Then it is to the market to buy some of our very own salwars!!! (We will be sure to post some pics)

Nov.2: We will attend a Wives Conference. We will get to provide talks and skits on preventing infectious diseases (germs, TB, HIV/AIDS, etc), do a little skit called "Tippy Tap" for hand-washing, and Carla will provide a talk on healing from abuse. In the afternoon, we will hold our first mini-medical clinic! Should be quite an experience....by the way, Sarah, Janer, and Katie get to be in the pharmacy....please keep us in your thoughts and mostly our Indian brothers and sisters who receive the medication we give! :)
Nov 3: Our first real adventure in Indian traffic....I've heard it's an adventure!! We get travel to new city to hold a Women's Empowerment Conference.
Nov 4: Medical camp at a Dalit Education Center
Nov 5: Evening children retreat...Suzie will be performing at her finest here and ensuring these kids get all the love they can get from all of us....we will be teaching the little ones about hand-washing and how important and valueable they are to this world!!! Should be fantastic....
During the day....possibly a visit to the Indian International Justice Mission office. They are doing wonderful things in India.

ReplyDeletePacking and sorting supplies, trying to read and absorb tons of info, wondering about H1N1, and then that pesky job thing keeps showing up.
Honestly I feel strangly at peace with all of this and anxious to be there and actually working a medical camp. Wonder if my malpractice is good there, oh thats right I don't have malpractice insurance, too costly. Will have to keep reminding myself of the first duty......"DO NO HARM".
Dudley produced a great video for the team and I love the theme, Isaiah 6:8; "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here I am Lord, send me."
Enough said.
