Train Station
























I feel like I am seeing the real India now.

Train Tickets

We booked train tickets to go to Ujjain for a conference, but one of Pastor Yohanne's assistants lost the tickets by accident. In places like India, if you lose the physical copy of your ticket, you have to consider it impossible to get the seats back. Elder John, Pastor Yohanne, the assistant and some of our team members had been spending hours at the train station trying to work this out for a few days but they were facing difficulties in doing so. However, today, a woman walked into Bethel Church for sunday worship, and Pastor Yohanne was telling her that our team was having trouble with train tickets. One word, and it was done, as Pastor Yohanne later told us. She was the wife of the train master. By nothing but the grace of God, we got our tickets and now we're on our way to the train station.

Pastor Yohanne keeps apologizing for only getting B-class sleeper tickets but we kept assuring him that it's okay. How bad can it be, anyway?

Business starts tomorrow.



"The house was burnt,
the store was burnt,
but faith was not.
He said, 'business starts tomorrow'."

- Pastor Kuldeep

Night travellers,



We are night travellers.
We travel through the nights.

Pizza Hut

We took Pastor Chuns' family out for dinner at Pizza Hut.
I've never been so excited for pizza.
