Micah Ringelberg: Today we completed our first two-day Pastor and Wives' Training Conference. For me, it was an unexpected blessing. Plans for teaching chapters of Galatians changed into a long course on the overarching theme of covenants in scripture.
Michael Bryant: We are too tired to say much more than that we had a wonderful time on this first day of our Conference for Pastors and Wives. I hope these photos tell you everything you want to know.
Michael Bryant: Today was a day for travel and worship. We made our way east from Hyderabad to Vijayawada where we will be staying until we fly home on Saturday.
Dawn James: Today our team was up early (mostly because we are still on EST) to head for Siddipet to have brunch with Pastor Steeven and Dorothy in their lovely home. As you would expect, brunch was delicious and we had a great time getting to know each other better. We then traveled to another small community church to join their regular ministry meeting to widows of the community.
Michael Bryant - We traveled into the countryside to participate in community water well dedications at two rural churches. These small churches have been praying for many years, asking God to bless them with a reliable source of clean water that they could share with their neighbors.
Michael Bryant - We have all arrived in Hyderabad with all our luggage. Thank you for praying. Today we freshen up, rest a wee bit, and get some cultural education with our partners.
Michael Bryant - SPC'S India 2026 Mission Team is waiting at Dulles Gate B40 for its flight to Hyderabad vis London (about 17 hours in the air). We will be joining the work and witness of Tony and Heather - hosting two Training Conferences for Pastors and Wives, dedicating three water wells, and meeting with widows and children in their distress.
Nate & Laurie Mackey What a week of serving, fellowship, outreach, encouragement, laughter, praise, and prayer! The Dornoch 2026 Mission Team made it back to Richmond about ten hours ago, exhausted but with hearts full, having witnessed God’s greatness on display for us in abundance last week. There are many stories to tell - please ask us.
Dawn James: Wow! What a great week it has been! Today is our last day in Dornoch. We attended the family worship service where the Holiday Bible Club (HBC) Worship Team aka The Space Cadets (Dom, Joe, Madeline, Isaac and Elise) lead us in song. The HBC kids joyfully sang along while doing the motions to the songs they had been singing all week. Please continue to pray for the HBC kids and families. Many kids took home age-appropriate Bibles. God’s Word is living and active and if His Word is being read aloud in the Highlands….May God’s Kingdom grow as a result.
Elise & Cara Mackey : It’s the end of the week and we’ve just finished Holiday Bible Club. This week has flown by and we can’t believe that it’s already over. The two of us have been working with kids with ages ranging from four to eight, and the most common thing we saw was that many of them had never attended HBC and knew little to nothing about God and the Bible.
