The enervating heat and humidity did not lessen the zeal and enthusiasm of some 300 young people ( ranging from a few months to 50) from coming together for 2 days of day retreat. The Assembly of Believers held this event in our church. This is a vibrant and growing church with branches in different parts of our city. We were glad to provide them with our facilities and cooperation.

We invite you to support our ministry in whatever way you can.
The theme asked a question.
Are you on Faithbook?
A friend request from Jesus.
The church hall was jam packed .
There was worship, teaching,
drama, music, talent display,
face painting, quiz and
a treasure hunt.
A very simple lunch of dal(lentils) and rice
was served to all.
On both days lunch was delayed
by 2 hours as the cooks were slow,
but no one complained,
not even the tiny tots.
Their mums gave them cookies to
munch while waiting.
A worship dance
Face painting time
You had to display a Biblical truth
No one is painting my face.
For the judges to see.
Another group of musical worship
These damsels came to our house to
make friends with Sheeba
Sheeba was over joyed with
all the attention she got
Here is another cutie
Many people made new commitments
to the Lord
and believers re-affirmed their faith.
The Sunday School kids on stage
The parents of this 11 month old boy sat
in our living room everyday
to feed him.
They are a beautiful couple.
Watch these videos to catch of spirit.

15 Fertilize my soul:
I see it was great time!
Today we have visitors from Kazakhstan - one Polish-Kazakh family from Alma Ata (I don't know whether I well wrote in English), and two weeks ago from USA - so from two "ends of world" :)
Oh Amrita, what a nice and meaningful event. Everyone looks happy and fond of the Lord. I really like the "Faithbook--A Friend Request" idea...how creative.
I love lentils and rice too...yummy!
Have a blessed week, dear Amrita.

Hi Zim, good to hear that you had international visitors at your church. What a blessing to connect with believers from around the world. You EWnglish is good. You write well. Its just that the Google traqnslation on your blog doesn 't come out right and I miss the meaning many times.
Hi oris, thank you for your sweet comments. Yeah they were4 a lively bunch of people. Lentils and rice is th e very basic lunch for most Indians. We have many kinds of lentils and pulses , so you can have a differnt one each day.
i've always wanted to try face painting. not sure if i'm too old for that. haha! great event you got there.
Everyone looks as tho they had a wonderful time. :)
Thank you for sharing. Hope you are well and holding up in the heat.
Amrita, thank You, I don't know everything, but I hard work on it :)
I add new version of translator, but it had to be in Polish - English is third language from top (in Polish - "angielski"). I'm hope it will be better, and I add it because I have more visitors from non-English regions (for example I knew someone who read in Kiswahili - I didn't had this language in old version).
Hi Kathryn, thank you for visiting - hope you are having warm weather up in the mountains
Oh Zim, you are so sweet. I will try the new translator. English is my second language too
Dear Amrita,
I am amazed at the effort and enthusiasm of your work at the church.
You make me feel shameful for doing so little.
I thank the Lord for my Indian sister being such a faithful minister and harvester for the Lord.
Oh, Amrita, I know you have severe health issues to deal with. Nevertheless you remain faithful where the Lord needs you to be.
Some day I shall see the stars in your crown.

Lovely post, Amrita. That face painting sure looks like fun!!
I love to see other Indian Christians celebrating Jesus. It's so beautiful. I wish I could have been there.
I don't know the song they were singing, I know a little bit of Hindi, I thought they said the word "name", but I can't be for sure.
Anyway, this is so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures and videos.
Dearest Felisol, your contribution to the body of Christ is very significant.
You are fulfilling Galatians 6 ;2
bear ye each other' s burdens for in doing so you are fulfilling the law of Christ.
You are a saint equpper.
Dear Miss Bible, welcome to my blog. It was a joy to visit your Godly blog.
You seem to have a special relationship with India. Yes they were singing about the name of Jesus.
May the Lord bring you someday to India where you can visit believers in person
I'm part black (African American) and part Indian (my mom is from the Fiji Islands).
So, yeah, I would say that I have a special relationship with India, by way of the Fiji Islands.
Thanks again for your post and your blog in general. It really does my heart good, to see Indian Christians. It really does.
I have a Hindi Christian music CD that I am trying to learn and understand, but in the meantime, I only know the basics of hindi. Just a little bit of it.
Anyway, thanks again for your blog.
