Otty Conferences - Praise the Lord

Sunday through Wednesday were busy ministry packed days. We all traveled up to Ooty on Sunday to set up and prepare for the End Times Conference. All the technology was set up well and the team of pastors who organized the event had everything under control. The Kish's stayed at a beautiful hotel during the conference while Sal, Elena and Tom made the trip up and down the 36 hairpin mountain turns each morning and afternoon. Ooty is at 7200 feet elevation. The climate is very different from Quiet Corner but we all adjusted fairly well. Tom and Sal presented their sessions on Monday and Tuesday to about 170 pastors and women. Sessions went until after 2:00 PM and then lunch was served. As their special guests, we were given delicious meals prepared by a professional cook. We felt like royalty. On Wednesday, Elena presented two teaching sessions for the women. There were about 80 in attendance. At the end of the second session an invitation to accept Christ was given and 7 women raised their hands and prayed. Then the entire group stood and prayed for God to give them more wisdom which was the topic of that session. It was a precious time.  Before leaving Ooty we visited one of the many shopping districts and enjoyed purchasing some clothing. Shopping in India is a very different experience for us foreigners.

It is now Thursday morning. We awoke before sunrise to bid Tom, Bev and Tom U. farewell. They left at 6:30 AM for Banglaore where they will spend the day before the journey home tomorrow. God has truly blessed the team and the ministry. It was a wonderful time. Now Sal and Elena remain for another two weeks. This afternoon they will be attending an evangelistic meeting in Masanangudi. The remainder of time will be spent in ministry to the local pastors and their wives. Both of them plan to study and prepare messages for when they return home.

Please pray for safety for those who left today. Pray for no travel delays and that they adjust quickly to the time changes.
