Update on India - Dec. 30

I Just had the most exciting, dangerous, meeting this morning with my friend Pastor Duane: Wow, be careful - - you might just "get" what I've got!

Reminder: Someone told me that if I invested ONE dollar ($1) that God would use it to bring almost unbelievable change - transforming hope into someone's life I cared a great deal about! Interested in what I did? Ok, finish reading my blog update, then you'll

find out at the end of this blog - be kind and entertain me :-)

India Update: Oh my . . . I'm looking to find investors for a really amazing idea: If we buy a piece of land in a village that doesn't allow people from lower castes to use the village well, we could drill and build our own well and give away water to everyone for free. Then we would rent a building ($25 a month) next to "our land" and hire a pastor ($50 a month) and WOW, what a difference we would make! Forever! Interested in joining me? I'm collecting villages now from India. More as soon as I hear back from my friend Dr. Kumar in Rajahmundry.

And . . . for $10,000 we could add a roof to a hospital Dr. Kumar runs in a town that has no building where Jesus is shared. We could use this "upper room" for orphans during the week. People receiving treatment (all castes accepted) and their families could take the stairs to the top floor and learn about Jesus - maybe even hear me on one of my weekly cell-phone preaching times. Do you want to be aware of how influential God made you? You can! Dream about it, pray about it, talk out loud about it!

Reminder (continued):

I said yes, but I didn't really want to! I didn't know that I was so in love this this person whose life was about to be changed forever. It was my first opportunity to speak via cell phone to people so lost in darkness, in some of the poorest parts of our globe - India. It cost me more than $1 in time, but once I did it I was bit and there's no antidote, no cure! I know you've heard me say it, but $1 will make a forever difference! It's true! And you can give me even $1 and I'll be so grateful (all our expenses are already paid). Laura and I have invested a few thousand dollars God lent us over these past few years in this God Adventure . . . and we're still dreaming and

scheming as to how we can come up with more (we'll do anything that's not illegal and against God's best)! I even thought about visiting a 7-11 late at night (wearing an Only God Ski mask) . . . well, not really . . . but could be funny . . . (keep praying for me).

Pictures: 1) Speaking via cell phone on a Fri. morning in the 'Couv, 2) one of the nicer Churches, 3) Leading an entire remote village out of Spirit worship into a relationship with Jesus (the whole village lived on telling people their future - they're being persecuted now). 4) A village hut.
