New video interview with Joel Sekaran
Oh yes.. we have arrived in India and everyone is safe, and for the most part, sound. I feel a bit beat up from the traveling myself but managed to preach anyway at our first meetings this Sunday. Also, Saturday was busy as I also had to drive down to Chengulpet to meet with Pastors’ Joshua, Caleb, Aruldas and Joel. (CGI founders) We painfully decided there that we would have to cut the conference to one day and reject all the newer registrations due to lack of funding.
Sunday, we went to both Caleb’s church where Chris Caudle preached, and then 4 of us peeled off for the drive down into Chengulpet to be with Pastor Joel Sekaran. Because of the challenges we have had lately, I felt inspired both personally and we as a group to theme our endeavors while here on Gen 32 where Jacob wrestled with God and would not let go. When promises seem elusive in life, you have to recount them exactly, recite them back in prayer, and align your intentions with God’s promises. That is the path to victory.
After the service, we had a chance to interview Pr. Joel so you all can see a summary of the short history of CGI from his perspective. I have learned that the foreignness of India makes it hard for our support base back home to really grasp what is going on here. Video should get you more of the sense of what we are up to.

This week, we will be adding video interviews with Joshua and Caleb, as well as some testimonies from the conference. There we can get more into the kinds of breakthroughs we have had over the last 3 years to help you understand this opportunity. This is critical, as we still need your support in order to cover the costs of the conference and the crusade. Please watch for these and pray.
Thank you.
