We began yesterday morning with a 24-minute flight from Bharatpur to Kathmandu aboard Buddha Air. When we arrived at the small airport, we were the only ones there! I’m so accustomed to arriving at an airport 2 hours before the flight! Anyway, it was a smooth flight, then getting a connecting flight from Kathmandu to Delhi a couple of hours later. Another smooth flight, after which we checked in to the hotel less than 10 minutes from the airport. So, now I wait for my late night flight which is the first leg of the journey home.
It was another wonderful time with the pastors, leaders, students, and friends in India and Nepal. Last evening Saji, the director of Harvest Mission to the Unreached (HMU) came to our hotel from the HMU office in Delhi for a time of tea and conversation with Pastor Ed and me. It was a great time of talking about what God is doing in India and Nepal and about future plans. I love working with HMU for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the integrity of the organization’s leaders. Pray for them, as they are always needing more financial support. I am amazed at how they stretch their budget each year. They have land and want to establish a pastor’s training center in Delhi.
Man, I love what I do! I am so grateful for all who support MTI. Thank you also for the prayers. On this trip, I came here at the end of a cold but had a couple of other health issues for the first few days. However, I ended strong and feel great.
God willing, I will be home Sunday night. By the way, I watched the memorial service for Billy Graham here at the hotel. What a tremendous inspiration he was and is.
Blessings to you all!
