Everybody wants to learn new songs both in English and Hindi

The meeting ended at 4 pm with a loud cheer for the Lord.
Tomorrow 10 am there is a YWAM prayer meeting in church.

Oh dear Lady . so wonderful a time of worship. I delight in the beauty of it. How wonderful!
I trust your mother is doing better? I do hope so. We are becoming involved in more lives of children around us as well. Little girls from Doves class pleading to come over to play . A new child called and her parents dropping her off tomorrow. He had asked me you know if I would be willing. Now Bless God it is he I am depending on to make me able. These children are often impoverished. I am here Mother of many. Trusting to love the hearts of those who would need to know this love. As are you.
