Wild Rides & Late Meals

Well, it is midnight here in Delhi and we are just returning home from a house church meeting and dinner. Dinner is usually ate late, between 8pm and 11pm. Tonight we had Chinese. The house church was a joyful experience with about 15 people there. One of the ladies there is seeking for the true God. Her name is Katina, please pray for her salvation. We sang songs in Hini, had some testimonies and then I was asked to lead a discussion from the Scriptures for about 25 minutes. These believers are on fire for the Lord and want to see much happen for the kingdom of God. They are also working very hard on prioritizing serving Christ over their personal desires. Their faith is amazing, encouraging and hopeful. May God fill their spiritual dreams. On the car ride home, we passed by several wedding ceremonies with loud music, lots of dancing and eating. There is really no way to explain what car or taxi ride is like here in India. The best I can do is think of a combination of a pinball game (bouncing around and around) coupled with a reckless video car driving game where things pop out of no where and you have to avoid them. Tonight we were almost in at least 3 accidents - or so it seemed. George was in the front seat and was very nervous. There were many times where he said loudly "whoa". We laughted much of the way home. George and Walter are adjusting to the culture well. We are all enjoying the Indian food. No one is sick. There are many more mosquito's than last year and the dengue fever incidence rate is fairly high. Please pray for us and the EID team here to be free of any sicknesses. I am still not yet sleeping well. I have a headache from lack of sleep. My body is screaming at me :-) Your prayers will be appreciated. Tomorrow we are taking a day trip into old Delhi by the metro train - it should be another grand experience. Thanks for praying, Ed
