Sunday in Goa

We left Orissa and made our way Back to Mumbai. There our team split up with Don and Emerson going on to Zimbabwe and Ken heading for Goa. We made our good-byes in Mumbai and each headed for the planes that would take us eventually to our next destination.

I was met at the airport by Dan Deyhle. It is great to see him again and to see the others who are on the team here in Goa. An exciting development has been the creation of a Trust as a legal entity to work within as this ministry develops. It is called the West India Brethren in Christ Conference. Bijoy Roul is the "settler" for the trust and their are five trustees from within the people who are part of the fellowship here in Goa. This work is under the direction of "Everybody Ought To Know" and Dan and Karen are Missionary Associates with Brethren in Christ World Missions. It was great to be back with the team through the evening as we talked and shared a meal together.

Sunday morning we gathered for Sunday School and Church at the "All Nations Centre." There were people I remembered and there were many new faces. I am so grateful for the development of this ministry. Bijoy Roul is making regular contacts here in his role as Regional Administrator for South Asia under BICWM.

I had the privilege to open the word with the adults in attendance. It is a blessing to minister among God's people and to share the good news. We had a lady in church for the first time today. She was excited about what she found and said she will be back again next Sunday. Pray for her as she examines what she is hearing. She is a Hindu who is being called by the Spirit to follow Jesus. What a blessing!
