Today was a day of prayer and fasting for the nation of India and the US. God had other plans for Elena. She woke up to sinus pain, congestion, vomitting and migraine. Sal called for Joyce, Pastor Wausu's wife. She prayed and tried to make Elena as comfortable as she could. Elena dozed for a while and when she awoke, the doctor from the government hospital was standing at the bedside. In America, if a doctor is standing by your bedside, he is probably the cornoner. For a fleeting minute she enterained the thought that she was dead. But since she was not present with the Lord she was shocked to see him there. "Why are you here?" she asked. "To take care of you," he said. He administered shots for the pain and vomitting and then hooked up a make shift stand with clothes hangers for the saline bag which he brought in a paper bag. Within a few hours, she was fine and spent the rest of the day basking in the love and compassion that is shown by these simple village people. We are humbled by their hospitality and concern.
After dinner, Elena felt strongly to call her best friend in the US. It was 9 PM in India and 9 AM in Florida. She called to find out that Maryanne was soon leaving for the hospital for knee surgery. She was nervous and wished that she could talk to Elena and pray with her. So at the beginning of the day, Elena received the love and compassion of her Indian sisters and brothers. At the end of the day she was given the opportunity to pass it on.
Bev and Tom soon will be leaving for the long trip to join us here on Saturday. Next week begins the End Times Conference. They are expecting a full house. Thanks to all who are praying. Your prayers are needed and they are powerful.

Great is thy faithfulness Oh God our Father! There is no shadow of turning with Thee. Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not, as Thou hast been, Thou forever will be! Praise your name and thank you for your surrounding love, protection and provision.
