 Second day jet lag and slump set in today on me especially.  We began our T4T training of church leaders.  There were  well over 100 leaders present.  There are some Baptist  churches in Bangalore because of work in the past especially  work through the Baptist Hospital there.  Our team did a  great job.  Cheri sang and that was a big hit.  She and Ken  shared about how God had saved them and their family  (T4T) and the people were fixed upon them as they shared.    Ben shared about the 4 calls of God to do evangelism.    I preached and taught 3 or 4 times.  I sat down after one  sermon and Ramesh asked me to get back up and give them  20 more minutes (that’s a switch, Ha!).  After 4 hours of training we went to eat at a “Sizzler” restaurant which was pretty good.  After a brief rest in the apartment, we were off to another house church meeting at Mr. Prahabathar house.  It was at his house that John C. and Don R. led our first Bania to Christ on our initial trip two years ago when we received our SC as a church training.  They sang, Cheri sang, and I preached.  They fed us Indian cuisine.  Ken earned the name the iron stomach on this trip.  I was struggling with the food on this night but ate since Mr. Prahabathar had said that this was the best Indian food.  We got home late that night as the night before.

We arrived in India after a 26 hour flight.  Our team is Ken and Cheri Powell, Ben and Ashley Browning, and me.  As you can expect, we were tired.  We finally made it through customs and got all our luggage (PTL!). After making it to Tony and Stephany’s apartment (they are away in Thailand) and clean up and a brief nap (too brief), we had lunch at Ramesh and Esther’s house a good Indian meal of Kentucky Fried chicken and french fries with Coke.  They are so gracious.  Sunday night was house church in a downtown apartment.  There were about 35 of us crammed into a room no larger than 12×12, and probably not that big.  Singing with bong go drums and tamborines was loud and intense.  We had prayer as they are in a Hindu neighborhood for their witness in their community.  I had the opportunity to preach and encourage them.  What a blessed day!  We were on the ground, had some good food and worshipped with believers, many of them were new believers.
