{FECA Vision Choir} Report 14

Friday, July 22. We did our usual routine of devotions and breakfast. Then we checked out and loaded the bus and left Madurai by 8:45. Paulus and Rosie drove by just to say goodbye to us. In just a few days, we have grown to really appreciate them and their example of living for Jesus. We learned that one reason the church we sang in last night, Zion Church, is growing is because they have been ministering AIDS victims, many who live in the neighborhood. On our part, we have been learning to listen for His voice on what and who should share and what songs to sing, last night's program being an example of God orchestrating the whole evening. We also learned that Pastor Joel's whole family is still slowly recovering from the flu, and Shiney's little boy, Kevin is the last to come down with it and currently the sickest. We stopped for lunch around 1 PM but the place we stopped did not serve dosa until 4 PM so we just ate veggie fried rice and butter paneer (a deep fried cheese sauce). The drive back to Bangalore was uneventful (that is not to say any driving in India is anything but a nerve wracking adventure) except for seeng scores of red-faced and red-bottom monkeys by the side of the road shortly after lunch. We made fairly good time until the last 30 km, taking almost 2 hours, finally arriving back at our hotel, Keys Whitefield, at 6:50.

We ate dinner at the hotel and met Joseph, Tim's friend and key contact in India. It was Joseph who connected Tim with all the people and ministry in Madurai. We sang a couple of songs for Joseph and gave him a set of Vision CD's, then went to sleep. Tomorrow will be a whole day of debriefing to process what we learned on this trip; for us, probably the most important day of the trip so pray for us.
