We had an amazing thanksgiving service today at the beautiful MGM resort. Joshua and I felt it would be best to honor those who worked so hard by having a lunch meeting here. There were about 30 of us altogether, pastors and wives. My favorite part of the time was being able to hear the [...]

It turns out staying here is really bearing fruit. I always felt a bit funny having to hit and run when we do ministry together when i am here, but family and work don’t allow me too many options usually. Now that I stayed however, I have been able to solidify my bond with pastors’ [...]

The day after the crusade ended, we headed back to Chennai on Monday, tired but victorious. Nobody wanted to think about the flight the next morning to Andhra Pradesh, but it was coming. I had been praying about whether I should go with them, as my business needs are very acute right now, as well [...]

An interesting backdrop story to the crusade was that we really had a remarkable time with the weather.
The day before the crusade there was heavy rain all up and down the coast. From Chennai to Pondicherry. Our night in the hotel was illuminated with lightning every 10 seconds. Needless to say, everyone was praying that [...]

It has taken a while to pull together the energy and images for the crusade concluding post, but now I am ready.
I will also make other posts now that are not sent via email, so please visit the site so you can read more about the crusade’s aftermath, boat trip, etc.
Before I get into the [...]

great news!
Day 2 has really been a great deal of fun and heavy lifting as we started off the day with an orphanage visit, a journey on a fishing boat, and then a great service.
There was a sense that people would be set free during worship, and it certainly happened! This village area really has [...]

The first night of the crusade was really a wonder to behold.
At first it looked like there was only going to be about 300 people as we were already 45 minutes past the 6pm posted start time.
By 7:15 there were over a thousand, and by 8 there were 2500!!!
We had a power failure from our [...]

Where do I begin?
The conference was amazing! Now that we are in Mahabalipuram, this is my first shot at an internet connection. I am downloading 500 emails while writing this… not sure what will finish first. The conference ended today at noon, and we just arrived a cool place with a great view of this [...]

This post is written in the early morning after a tough night. My main speaking partner for the conference, pastor Joe Durai, had been missing for two weeks! I thought he perhaps he was out preaching somewhere, but it turns out the rumors i had heard about him being in an accident were true. I [...]

Joel:
Wow. What a trip! After two days and nights of travel we are here. I am very tired so forgive me if I ramble a bit. I can’t believe all the [...]
