{FECA Vision Choir} Report 7

Friday, July 15. This morning, Vision woke at our usual time and had breakfast together at 6:30am to 7:30am. Marshall and Tim arrived back at the hotel late last night from Sikkim. We proceeded with devotions and prayed in small groups for the day.

Today, our schedule was much simpler than running after the children at Knoble Academy. Instead we visited and sang for Swanthana, a mentally disabled facility for females run by nuns. We had a tour of each of the rooms and sang songs of blessing and praise for each. Our team really enjoyed visiting the girls.

Afterwards we visited Vathsalya, meaning "love" in Hindi. Formerly focused in adoption, Vathsalya has turned their focus in educating the children of India, including the children of migrant workers. Our team enjoyed singing with and for the children. We spent a small amount of time playing and speaking with them before the last hour. It was beautiful to see all the work the school has been perpetuating. We returned to the hotel for a small break and rest.

To close our day, we left at 5:30pm for Kutumba, meaning "family" in Hindi. This is a facility that helps care for and train women who are physically and/or mentally disabled, many are deaf while others have various other ailments. We were able to sing a handful of Vision songs and because many were deaf, we then sang a few more VBS songs with action and dances with the girls there. Afterwards we had the opportunity to pray for each of the girls individually for a variety of requests all while battling the multitude of mosquitoes in the outdoor courtyard. It was a rewarding experience that reminded us of past tours filled with individual prayer ministry, such an awesome day!

Overall, today was filled with many small visits where we were able to be blessed and be a blessing to various people. What a great day! Tomorrow will be a travel day as we are busing down south to Madurai, a smaller city 6 to 7 hours south where we will minister for the better part of a week.
