India/Uganda Trip Update 3

India Republic Day

St Paul's SchoolMonday was India’s Republic Day.  This is the day they celebrate independence from England.  The children put on a special program at St. Paul’s Lutheran School.  We participated having a few words with the children and prayer.

Classes Explaining Future Vision and Goals

The sessions explaining the future vision and goals of AFLC World Missions we held in the chapel with a good number of the pastors and Bible women there.  The pastors from the Piler area were not in attendance because of distance and the fact that we would be visiting them on Thursday.  The sessions went as follows:

  • Del Palmer - Introduction and explanation of the vision
  • Craig Wentzel - Self-Sufficiency
  • Elden Nelson - Self Leadership
  • Del Palmer - Self Propagation/Reaching Unreached People Groups
  • Robert W. Lee - Preparing Missionaries from Childhood

Kevin Olson will present his two sessions next week.  They will be:

  • Prayer
  • Distance Education

Thank you for praying as we spoke.  We really sensed God’s Spirit working.

Tuesday

We will be ministering at the Potherlaka church.  This church was built and dedicated in 2002-2003  There will be an anniversary of the dedication.

Prayer Requests

  • God would speak through us as we minister at Potherlaka
  • We would have safety as we travel on Wednesday
  • God would protect us from insect bites, some of us are really bitten up
