I love to write, but don't. That's about to change.
My head is a bee-hive and this blog is my new field full of flowers - I'm out to pollenate! Wait, that sounds weird...

India Update - We're here!

Lodhi Park - reminded me of
Picacho Park in Honduras
We made it. After flying for 24 hours, we arrived in Delhi on Saturday morning. Saturday we spent the day having a church picnic with several of the young leaders. It was positively delightful getting to know them. We played games, walked around and saw an old tomb, and enjoyed the day. They are all lovely people. We wound up going to bed very early due to jet lag.

Sunday we all felt much more refreshed after a good night's sleep. The church meets in a small banquet room at a local hotel. Worship was AMAZING. God showed up. You can see the anointing on these young people. I had the opportunity to speak and share a bit about what the Lord has been showing me in my own life lately  - a challenge in faith... faith in the smaller things, not just the big things. Shari and Eb from our team also spoke, as did the pastor we are working with. It was neat how none of us discussed what we would be sharing ahead of time, but that they flowed together well. Obviously a God thing.

One thing I loved about church was that after service we all had tea. It was very condusive to fellowshipping after service and I enjoyed sitting and chatting with the members.

After church we went out to lunch with our gracious hosts. What an amazing meal. And sweet Shari treated us! The food here is so good, although all a bit spicy, but SO affordable. The feast we ate yesterday would have cost $15/plate easy in the States - it was approximately $7 here!! I must say, I've not been too hungry because we are always eating.

The afternoon was spent on a metro prayer "walk". Instead of the traditional prayer walk, we met with several church members again and they took us on the metro (subway/lightrail). We sped through Delhi and into the surrounding suburbs praying over the city, praying for other people on the metro, and getting to know our India brothers and sisters even more. Again, another delightful day.

It's now Monday morning and we're off to another part of Delhi, Nehru Place, to do a prayer walk, especially as we visit the Lotus Temple. It will be nice to see the real Delhi as we walk.

I also got to Skype with my angels this morning just before they headed off to bed (it's Sunday evening in Phoenix). It was wonderful to see their faces and smiles.

I'll try to continue to keep you updated every few days on our goings-on. Blessings to you and we do appreciate your continued prayers.

Love from Delhi,

Kelly (and Adonai too!)
