Leaving Hyderabad has not been easy. I had mixed feelings. This is where I was born and spent my first seventeen years and moved with the directions of the Lord. I have thousands of friends but the other places I could visit apart from our study venue and hotel are my dentist and blood pressure doc. I had a great longing to visit a eating place and my the area where I was brought up. But the focus to accomplish what we are here for has been the priority. Please pray that my ‘pending’ desire would be fulfilled one day.
At Delhi I preached for the first time in Delhi Bible Fellowship. It is located in a very poor and backward area of Delhi. The pastor here is form a Hindu background. There were over 100 in the first service and about 250 in the second service. I met a pastor here from Orissa where in the persecution he saw villages burnt, people burnt and a great devastation. He has 172 churches but only 62 pastors and all of them are untrained.
