SPEAKING AT TRINITY BIBLE COLLEGE ON FRI

I HAD BREAKFAST AT 7AM AND DROVE FOR 2 HOURS TO THE THE TRINITY BIBLE COLLEGE, FOR WOMEN. THERE ARE ABOUT 50 YOUNG WOMEN STUDYING THERE, MOST OF THEM WERE HINDU BACK GROUNDS. WHEN THEY RECEIVE CHRIST, THEIR FAMILY KICKS THEM OUT. THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, NO HOME, NO FAMILY, NO MONEY. THEY TRUELY ARE SACRIFICING TO BE CHRISTIANS. MANY OF THE GIRLS ARE FULLY SUPPORTED BY THE CHURCH. I SHARED AT THE CHAPEL SERVICE AND I FELT ANNOINTED. I HAD TO USE AN INTERPRETER AS SOME OF THEM DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. THAT WAS VERY HARD AT FIRST. EITHER I SAID TOO MUCH, OR TOO LITTLE. THE LORD IMPRESSED ME IN THE NIGHT THAT I SHOULD PRAY FOR EACH OF THE WOMEN. I ASKED IF I COULD AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED. THE POWER WAS OFF AGAIN AND I WAS SWEATING SO MUCH, BUT THE WOMEN DID NOT SEEM TO MIND. WHILE I WAS PRAYING, THE BROUGHT A CHAIR FOR ME TO SIT AND THE GIRLS KNELT ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF ME. OH THEIR BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FACES WERE SO DEAR, I WAS DEEPLY TOUCHED. I HAD A SPECIFIC WORD FOR SOME OF THEM AND I PRAYED FOR GOD TO FILL THEM WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT AND ANOINT THEM FOR HIS CALLING ON THEIR LIVES. I FELT GOD WAS CALLING ONE TO PREACH, ONE TO BE A TEACER, AND TWO WERE BEING CALLED OUT TO BE LEADERS IN WOMEN MINISTRY. WHEN I PRAYED FOR A COUPLE THE LORD SHOWED ME SOME DEEP NEEDS. IT WAS A VERY BLESSED TIME FOR ME. THEN WE WENT TO CLASS AND I TAUGHT MORE FROM THE WORD FOR 2 HOURS. THEN I ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD ANY QUESTIONS. AT FIRST THEY GIGGLED AND LAUGHED BUT THEN SOME STARTED. ONE OF THE WOMEN WANTED TO KNOW WHY AMERICANS CAME TO INDIA TO WORSHIP HINDU GOD'S AND THEN GO HOME AGAIN. SHE SAID WHY IF THEY KNOW JESUS WOULD THEY DO THAT. WHAT A SCANDEL AGAINST AMERICANS. I SAID THAT THEY MAY KNOW JESUS IN THEIR MINDS BUT NOT IN THEIR HEARTS. ALSO, I BELIEVE THEY ARE SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING AND TURN TO OTHER GOD'S TO TRY TO FILL THAT VOID THAT GOD HAS PUT WITH IN THEM. I ALSO BELIEVE IT IS TRENDY AND STYLISH TO DABBLE IN THESE OTHER RELIGIONS INCLUDING ISLAM. THE LORD GOD IS SO AMAZING. I DID FEEL STRENGTHENED BY THE LORD FOR THIS DAY. WE WENT TO A CHURCH AND SCHOOL WHERE THE ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH BEGAN IN INDIA. THE PASTOR'S WIFE MADE LUNCH FOR ME. IT WAS MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY AND FRIED CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES, JUST LIKE HOME.......NO SPICE!!! THEY WERE VERY GRACIOUS AND KIND AND THE THEOLOGY PROFESSOR JOINED US AS WELL. THEY SENT ONE OF THE WOMEN TO TRAVEL WITH ME. SHE IS VERY DEAR, GRADUATED FROM BIBLE COLLEGE AND WITH HER MASTERS, SHE IS SERVING IN PASTOR CLARENCE'S HOME AND IN THE CHURCH. SHE HAS SUCH A SERVANT HEART. SHE DOES DISHES AND COOKS AND CLEANS ANYTHING THAT NEEDS DOING. SHE IS A WOMANS PASTOR. HEPZI IS HER NAME, AND SHE CARRIED MY BAG AND HELD MY HAND OUTSIDE ON THE ROUGH GROUND. THEY VOCATIONAL SCHOOL HAS ABOUT 70 MEN STUDYING THE WORD AND A TRADE SO THAT THEY CAN GET JOBS AND SUPPORT A FAMILY. THEY ARE ALSO STARTING AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THEN WE WENT ABOUT AN HOUR TO THE MOUNTAINS TO SEE A HUGE WATERFALL. THERE WERE ABOUT 5 OF THEM FALLING FROM WAY HIGH UP DOWN AND JOINING ANOTHER GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. AT THE BOTTOM IS A LARGE POOL. PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER INDIA TO BATHE IN THE POOLFOR HEALTH REASONS. THE WATER IS RICH IN MINERALS AND HERBS, FROM FLOWING THROUGH THE FORESTS AND MOUNTAINS. AFTER THAT THE WATER IS CONSIDERED DIRTY AND SOME GARBAGE IS DUMPIN IN. SO MUCH BEAUTY, SO MUCH POVERTY AND MISERY. THERE WERE 6 MONKEYS SITTING IN A PILE OF GARBAGE EATING AWAY ON THE STREET, I COULD NOT GET MY CAMERA OUT FAST ENOUGH BUT THEY WERE AMAZING TO SEE UP CLOSE. IT WAS VERY HOT OUT THERE AND IN THE SUN I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS OUT UNTIL WE GOT BACK TO THE CAR. THE DRIVER WE HAD TODAY WAS A WILD MAN. HE THOUGHT THAT HONKING HIS HORN HARD A HUNDRED TIMES WOULD MAKE THE CARS, BUSES AND PEOPLE AND ANIMALS DISAPPEAR. HE DROVE VERY FAST.....................AND MOSTLY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH CARS AND BUSES COMING STRAIGHT AT US. I DID COVER MY FACE WITH MY HANDS A FEW TIMES, BECAUSE I THOUGHT I WOULDN"T MAKE IT. BUT GOD WAS FAITHFUL TO PROTECT AGAIN AND AGAIN. I WAS VERY GLAD TO BE BACK AT THE HOUSE 2 HOURS LATER. I WAS SO TIRED, WE HAD TEA AND THEN I WENT UP TO REST. A TEAM FROM CANADA IS HERE AND THEY WERE ALL GOING OUT TO SHOP AT 7PM AND TO DINNER, BUT I DECLINED, I AM SHOT, BUT VERY BLESSED. THANKYOU FOR PRAYING SO DILIGENTLY. THE LORD IS SUSTAINING AND MAKING ALL THINGS BEARABLE, AND GOOD. THEY WOMEN OF THE HOUSE MADE ME RICE PANCAKES AND TEA FOR SUPPER. THEY GAVE ME PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY AND HOT TEA. THE WOMEN NEVER EAT AT THE TABLE BUT IN THE KITCHEN, I HAVE GONE IN TO VISIT AND THANK THEM A FEW TIMES BUT THEY SEEM NERVOUS THAT THE GUEST IS IN THE KITCHEN. SO I VISIT WITH THE PASTORS AT THE TABLE AS THE GUEST. THEY LITTLE GRANDSON IS 1 YEAR AND VERY CUTE. HE CAN PUT HIS LITTLE HANDS TOGETHER AS THEY SAY PRAISE THE LORD. HE KEEPS CRAWLING UP STAIRS AND WANTS TO GO IN MY ROOM TO PLAY, SO MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE CHASING UP AND DOWN AFTER HIM.THE WOMENS CONFERENCE IS TOMORROW AND I WILL JUST SHARE BRIEFLY AND ATTEND THE REST. OUTSIDE AND INSIDE NO AIR CONDITIONING TRUSTING GOD. THERE ARE MANY MOSQUITOES AS WE ARE IN OUT OF TOWN AREA. MUCH HARD LIVING, BUT I AM LEARNING WHAT IT IS REALLY LIKE HERE IN INDIA. IT IS A BLESSING TO BE IN THEIR HOME AND SEE HOW THE FAMILY LIVES DAY TO DAY. SUNDAY I WILL SHARE IN THE MORNING SERVICE AND SUN. EVENING I WILL BE PREACHING AT THE EVENING SERVICE. I MISS YOU ALL AND WILL HAVE TO HAVE PROBABLY A WEEK OR TWO OF TALKING, AND TALKING.
