Finally Internet!

Thanks to Roger who is on holiday here at the college we now have a hotspot working off a dongle on Steve Hammond's laptop!  So we can finally put up a blog.

Well, what can I say, the first three days have been fantastic!  We have been so blessed by so many things but most of all the welcome and hospitality of everyone here at Mount Carmel.

Today we were able to spend time in devotions and prepping for tonight and tomorrow.  In the meantime Dave P took lectures with the students for several hours.  At 3.30pm we headed out to a local village literally around the mountain side along a winding road through tea plantations.  The church was called 'Lighthouse' which was pretty amazing for us as we'd been teaching 'My Lighthouse' to three students, Joshua, Suresh and Sam.

When we arrived there were over 150 children packing out the room.  We did an hours programme with songs, dramas and testimonies and the children really responded to it all with great enthusiasm.  At the end we made balloon models and did face painting and it went quite crazy.  But it was really good to see the kids enjoying it all.

Tomorrow morning the ladies are back to the same church to take a ladies meeting.  We believe God wants us to lay hands on them and pray for healing.  Please pray for us and for The Lord to really bless these ladies through us.

Right now it is quite late and some of us are sitting around in the dark as the power has failed!  We are also getting used to cold showers as the college operate on solar power!  Definitely feels like mission.  We are loving it all, such great experiences and challenging.

Will now try and add some photos.

Love to all at home Alice

  3. Although I am really sorry this is my first visit to the blog it is really encouraging to see the balloons have once again come in handy :-) I sincerely trust everybody has now master the art and some photos will follow in due course as I'm still unfortunately not all that good with reading. However, here's praying the rest of the mission will go just as well if not better for everybody especially those you're visiting :-)
