In less than a month our team will be traveling to India. We have done much to prepare, like study Indian culture, get lots of shots, and eat delicious Indian food. Last week we ate at an authentic Indian restaurant in Edmond called Namaste. We met a helpful Indian man named Praveen that gave us an intense cultural lesson. He encouraged us to visit his home in Goa on the western side of India. He told us that the area is famous for its beaches and resorts. As nice as that sounds we will mostly be visiting an area on the Eastern coast of India named Kakinada and probably won't get to visit Goa.
Crystal and I have been reading the Bible and trying to prepare ourselves to share our faith with those we will meet in India. I would say the most challenging thing to me is how to connect with people of another culture. I know however the Lord can use even me and my small attempts to spread His truth.
Crystal, Sarah and I learned some great ideas on how to teach the children at Ricky's orphanage various Bible stories from Stillwater's VBS. Not only do we have stories from VBS we have the chief organizer of VBS, Beverly. Michelle has also been working hard to gather material for the children and Marie has been working at a girl's home since she graduated from OSU. I am very grateful for my teammates abilities to work with children. Please remember us in your prayers. Aaron Fuchs
