We left at 5 PM to go to New Life Fellowship, HSR Layout, which is located in the heart of the electronics industry in Bangalore. We pr'yed on the bus for about 1/3 of the trip and arrived there at about 6:30 with ample time to warm up. Besides singing eight songs, Eugene shared his testimony and Mari gave a powerful message which really connected with the packed audience of about fifty adults and over a dozen children. The local p'str, George, then asked the congregation to cleared the floor of chairs and asked anyone wanting pr'yer to come to the center of the room. At first, only three or four came forward, but soon we were kept busy pr'ying for about half an hour - for health, jobs, babies for childless couples, relatives, etc. we were amazed at the vulnerability of the congregation, as many of the men (usually the women are more open) came forward to ask for pr'yers. After pr'ying, we stood like a reception line and the congregation filed by to shake our hands and/or give us hugs, and thanked us. They then served us dinner, Marsala chicken, sweet and sour and spicy chicken served over rice plus mango ice cream. We returned to the Centre at about eleven and spent the next hour preparing crafts for tomorrow's VBS, then went to bed, tired but grateful for our long day of ministry.
Friday, 6/30
After breakfast, we returned to New Home where and did day two of VBS. Perhaps we tired the kids yesterday but they seemed more lethargic and restless today. We returned and debriefed and shared what we learned from today's devotion and found out that both Eugene and Mari blessed many last night and some of us were also the beneficiaries of the congregation's pr'yers for us while we pr'yed for them, real koinonia in action! We then rested before leaving for our evening meeting at six PM.
