Dawn James ~ Today was Day One of the second two-day training conference for pastors and their wives. It was such a treat to enter the building this morning to their voices lifted in song. Even though they were singing in another language, I knew they were singing about Jesus.
Melinda Batalias ~ Today we began our second conference with a new group of men and women. Micah taught the men Galatians 1 – 3 and Michael taught the men about biblical leadership. Dawn, Melinda, Cindy, and Misty taught on the Ten Commandments. Cindy also kept the women active with a game of “Never have I ever” and a coloring sheet.
Michael Bryant ~ We took a short break from training pastors and their wives to dedicate another water well and to visit an after-school ministry for primary students supported by Global Partners in Peace and Development.
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.
