Metropolitan Missionaries

Dear Friends who pray:

Time is nearly done for my two weeks in precious India….

I have been to many sites during these 15 days,  but mostly with my CP workshops here in JAIPUR (site of last month’s Al Queda terrorist bombing here in town of  desert Jaipur!) (Ouch!)…

The  42 “Trainers of trainers” are not pastors, but overseers from various Indian states (coming from far away places like the Himalayas in the north and TAMIL NADU in the south…and other exotic places …

And I am a different man here… you would not know me to be the person you have known all these years….  joy abounds. An   Irish/Texan/Honduran   heart  become one with others here.

Near the end of this week I will be home  with  Debbie and Kathryn in Honduras.  Please pray for safe travels.

Themes this week for CP workshops:

——————————
