Psalm 126

We've kind of fallen into a routine now, wake up at for a 8:30 breakfast, head to the camp around 9:45, spend time singing dancing and hanging out with counselors until 1:30pm.  Then it's back to the house for lunch, then 3pm back to the camp, then 7:30 pm back to the house for supper.  It's been a joy to understand the inner workings of IBCM.  We met with some of the district coordinators two days ago, these men are the men in charge for reaching over 30 million people!  These men are serious, they will partner with thousands of churches, providing training and material to reach the children of Tamil Nadu.  One of the most exciting things about this ministry is that it is slowly becoming self sustaining.  This year 40% of the camps are Indian sponsored.   The plans are in the works for much more.  Next year IBCM will not supply any funding for camps, but will only supply the materials and training for the staff.  Churches take care of the camps themselves.  This ministry is poised to explode, 70,000 kids is just the beginning!

Steve. Great to get a glimpse of your day to day life in India. I can imagine camp and I can imagine India. I honestly can't imagine camp in India! Keep at it. Looking forward to hearing more. Praying for you daily.
