Thanksgiving... Thanks India!



To sum up my Thanksgiving experience this year I have comprised a Mastercard commercial which I completely authorize Mastercard to use for their marketing purposes should they discover this post:

Thanksgiving Dinner with the fam in a super posh, foreign Indian restaurant ironically named Chillies.... $45.67 (for a party of 8)
Spontaneous Camel ride through a random park dividing the main thoroughfare...... $0.50
Finding a shoe maker that makes custom leather sandals for less than $4 a pair.... well... about $12 when you buy three pairs(but really it's a priceless find and I've made a new friend)
Riding India's version of the Autopia Cars.... $1.00
Making memories on a Thanksgiving weekend that will never be matched or forgotten.... PRICELESS

My calling grows... we knew it would!

Today I was priveledged to preach in a small village church about 30 minutes from where I'm living in Tenali. Over the last several weeks Suresh and Christina have felt like God has been calling them to encourage me to sharpen my skills for sharing the Word and so... as Suresh always does... he responded... by arranging speaking engagments Sunday mornings throughout the remainder of my time in India, at various churches in the Harvest India network. It's been a true blessing! God has provided every step of the way. And while I always try to do some planning prior to the message, it's been incredible to allow the Holy Spirit to lead, creating space for God to move and sharing relevant messages with these amazing and hungry believers. Be blessed my family and loved ones! Thank you for your continued prayers!
