Well, my parents have returned safely from India.With a bout of illness due to different food on a stopover in Singapore,all went well. The ministry team was in fact a team. They worked as one . The children were so happy to see 'white people' they came from everywhere!! Dad took his Shofar,a rams horn, and blew it soundly in the morning. Children came from everywhere. He let them hold it and try to blow out of it, then produced candy for them, and more appeared. The villages they visited were very happy to see them, and embraced them wholeheartedly.Everyone wanted to come and touch them lol! I laughed and told mom that they were like celebrities over there.She said the children would line up in the morning to wait for a piece of candy when she woke up in the morning.They held prayer meetings that were a huge sucess.Gifts were handed out, books, candy, cots,etc. Sounds like dad will be returning in june or july this year with Jim.Mom traded a toothbrush with a little girl over there that they get off of a tree!!! The bark is what they use. They take this bark and soften it up,then brush their teeth with it!
Such neat and powerful testimonies are a result of this trip.
I will try and post a picture of my sister 'Navaya' my parents are sponsoring.So much more stories to come from this faithful team of warriors.

Holy words long preserved
for our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart
Oh, let the Ancient words impart.

Words of Life, words of Hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us Home.

CHORUS:
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Holy words of our Faith
Handed down to this age.
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world.
They resound with God's own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart.

CHORUS x4

We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.
