My Cup Overflows

A well watered garden.

On April 29th, late in the evening this Crompton and Greaves pump was installed and our well started functioning.

Pastor read from the Psalms ,a hymn of praise and gave thanks to the Lord.Then we all had Indian sweets to celebrate.

You are right Felisol, we also took it as a oppurtunity to share God 's love with our Muslim workmen.

Now the plumbing has to be laid out and electricity supply has to be secured plus finishing touches. Pastor 's brother is helping us without charges.We are using the cheapest possible materials to keep our ballooning costs down.

But I must record the hurdles we had to overcome since we embarked upon this project.

The Devil 's Salvos

1. On Day One our concrete water tank broke draining away precious expensive (tanker) water.

2. On Day Three the generator broke down causing a delay.

3. Yesterday was a close call for me. In the afternoon when I went to withdraw money for the project there was a robbery at the bank.Praise God I was safe but the 3 robbers in their getaway speed crashed into our stationary car ( it was being driven by Pastor 's brother) and created a dent into the side.They were caught by the police.All this drama took place as I was stepping out of the ATM cubicle.A large crowd had collected near our car.When I got the story I praised God it was not me they had robbed, we just scraped through with the dent! We are making 'Rush Hour ' Part 3

4. Later on Pastor S, his brother and a friend faced quite a bit of difficulty while buying plumbing hardware.They spent several hours in the shops but found very little stuff they approved of.Today again they will go hardware hunting. We are doing this to keep the costs down.

5. During some point of their shopping expedition Pastor 's brother was driving his (pastor 's)motorcycle without a helmet and was stopped and ticketed by the police.Now why would this want to happen when there are thousands of people buzzing about without helmets in our city? They will go to the district court to get their vehicle papers back today.

So please keep us in your prayers. We need protection, guidance, wisdom, God 's favor and a good bit of humor and physical strength to combat opposition.

Yesterday we did not have electricity for more than 6 hours and after that the supply was so weak that I could not run the computer. I can only use it for a short duration in the mornings.

Whether our cup overflows with joy or sorrow...Jesus is the Lord.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers,against the authorities,against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.Therefore put on the full armor of God,so that when the day of evil comes,you may be able to stand your ground,and after you have done everything to stand."Ephesians 6:12,13 (Bible)
