All the kids came home from Cuddalore (the tsunami affected area where we are working). They spent all night on the bus so were very tired. They woke up in the afternoon and I listened to all their excited stories. They slept on mats of the floor for the first time in their lives. And [...]
Saturday morning: my friend’s birthday and the reason we are getting away from everything for the weekend. I crawled out of the tent to sit outside in our fold-up camping chairs overlooking the breathtaking view of the Kazinga channel. The water is placid and the setting is so peaceful. Through binoculars, you can spot buffalo [...]
Vas writes: The teenagers in our home are starting a band and I guess I’m the music instructor. I am having fun teaching them how to arrange songs and play their instruments. They were a little shy to start with but the drummer of our Luna Llena band gave them a very inspiring pep talk [...]
The last few days the house has been really quiet. Our home population of 25 has come down to 12. Every home member above the age of 16 gathers together each morning for two hours of devotions, prayer, and prophecy.

It’s been neat because I often forget, (or didn’t know to begin with) small details of the story like peoples names etc. which interest them. (eg. The names of [...]
My Dad just got back from Sri-Lanka, apparently the Tsunami relief work there has been hampered by a lot of internal strife, but he accomplished a fair bit. He brought us a bag of Rambutan’s (I luv them!!!). Spent the day with Dad and my little brothers and sisters. Went out for lunch and the [...]
Vas writes:In light of what I was talking about the other day about the Rolling Stone magazine article, I felt that Jesus’ response to me the other day when I asked Him if He was the “only way” is pertinent. I only wrote about that prophecy and didn’t actually post it. Well, here it is.
Getting ready to start a new school year and a valuable member of our teaching team is moving to another home so change is in the air! This last week has been a whirlwind of meetings and prophecy sessions to determine our goals and plans for the next few months. After all the teachers meetings [...]
