Delhi-fantastic Thursday!

Back to work again bright and early on Thursday - the glorious 12th! We started off our day with a look at Joseph and the faith he showed throughout his life, in God's promise and the forgiveness he showed to his brothers. Then we hit the road with the first team leaving at 9am.

The small groups were heading for both the hotel and the office at various times along side those from the American team. Everyone was feeling quite exhausted after the day off and probably a build up of everything we have done over the last 10 days but we were all quite keen to try to do 3 trips in our last 2 full days.

Praise God that out of 23 trips, there were only 2 confiscations in the morning - EJ and once again Kyle.We thought that the officals had maybe started to recognise Kyle but he said that they were different each time. It was a great encouragement for him to get through ok in the afternoon! Some of the guys made 3 trips but for the rest of us there was either no one left from the full time workers to take us to the office or our feet were just too sore.

We ate in an Indian restaurant and it was truly Delhi-fantastic! Imagine an Indian restaurant in Hong Kong! I'm sure the aroma in the apartments on Friday morning was delightful!


Adam finished the day off with a devotion on 3 of his favourite stories from the Bible comapring them to what we are doing here. Praise God for another successful day doing his work!

In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever. Ps 44:8

Good morning from dull old Ulster what a fantastic day you must of had on Thursday getting so many clean runs this must be so thrilling knowing that you are helping so many of God's people. It will take you all a few days to calm down after living on such a high over the past few weeks. I'm sure this experience will live with you all for ever as you have seen God work in some meraculious ways during your trip LUKE 19 VS 37b.
Keri eating Indian food surely not!!God really has changed this girl through this experiene and we will be welcoming home a truly different person. Enjoy the rest of your time away continue to praise God for his leading and guiding over this past few weeks.

Well done everybody for being so brave and for accomplishing such a mission that would make many tremble!
Praise God for protecting you so far and we pray for safety on your journey home.
Glad to see you all enjoying your indian mean. Our food bills are greatly reduced since you left Matthew, but the house has been very quiet.
Do expect to experience a big anticlimax when you come home. Apparently Buzz Aldrin became depressed when he returned from the moon!!
Looking forward to seeing you
love Heather
