Today we went to the site of the Indian Pastors conference, the Campus for Christ India facility. There were close to 200 pastors in attendance.

Shortly after arriving, I was interviewed and filmed by a representative from Calvary Magazine, who is going to be publishing a feature on Harvest Mission to the Unreached (HMU). The interview was mainly about my association with HMU. I was glad to help, as it is a top-notch organization.

Then, shortly thereafter I spoke for about 20 minutes prior to an ordination ceremony. The subject was what it means to be a shepherd.

It was a joy to catch up with long-time friends and to see familiar faces. It was a great day and I am looking forward to the sessions tomorrow.

Thanks again for the prayers. I hope to put up some pictures tomorrow.

Well, it is Tuesday, February 20, and I landed at the Delhi airport about 12 hours ago. A friend landed about 10 minutes before me and then we met at baggage claim and made our way to the hotel in the center of Delhi. It is great being back in India, “haze” and traffic and all.

We will go to the conference tomorrow, and I am looking to once again spending time with the Indian pastors. I had a cold last week but am feeling much better now.

Not much to say, as I usually take the first day of an international trip to recover from the flights, adjust to the time change, and prepare for the next day. That is what I did for most of the day today.

Thanks for all the prayers and thoughts. I’ll be reporting again tomorrow.

I cannot believe that we are at the end of January. Where has the time gone?

I will be leaving for India and Nepal on the 18th of February. I will be teaching at a pastor’s conference in Delhi and then flying to Kathmandu, Nepal. I will spend a few days there, visiting the orphanage and meeting with the directors of the Calvary Chapel Bible College. Then a flight to Chitwan, Nepal, for a 3-day conference of Nepali pastors, where I will teach a couple of sessions each day. I am looking forward to this trip, as it is always a great joy to be with the pastors and leaders in these countries.

I want to take a donation to the orphanage, now called Hope for Children Hostel, instead of Glorious Mission Orphanage, due to changes in the government in Nepal. If you wish to donate, you can use the PayPal method or send a check to MTI. Every dollar designated for the orphanage will be given to the orphanage.

thanks for the support and prayers. I will soon update you on some exciting new opportunities for MTI in 2018!
