Dedication in Cuttack

We have celebrated with the Church in Orissa and particularly Cuttack today. There were two dedications. The first of a remodeled training center and the second of the third floor gathering place for the Bethel congregation of the BIC.

The place was packed. There were three guests from Bihar and Nepal respectively. The local bishop of the CNI Church diocese was present as well as two baptist pastors, and many brothers and sisters within the local BIC family. They have literally been working night and day to finish preparations for this day.

There are many stories of persecution from the church in Orissa. There are also many stories of the mighty hand of God at work in and through the people here. It was wonderful to celebrate today with our brothers and sisters in a great time of accomplishment.

The PV team are all doing well. Yesterday we explored Cuttack and went shopping with Manjula Roul. We all had a good time.

Tomorrow we begin a meeting that we call a Regional Round Table. The leaders of the three regions; Bihar, Nepal and Orissa, gather for this time of discussion and sharing around the work that is happening. Pray with us that we may be encouraged and that we will all press on with the work the Lord has given to us.

Blessings to you from Orissa! Ken
