Our day began with Kirsten encouraging us to claim God's faithfulness when we are anxious or fearful. Off to chapel where Marilee spoke on trusting God in our lives. What a priviledge to also join the AIDS patients from the clinic for another chapel with Anne speaking on loss and the joy of seeing God work through pain.
Marilee speaking on God's peace.
Anne Storm speaking to women/men and children who are affected with HIV/AIDS. This ministry has grown tremendously and many people have come to the Lord as a result.
Then off to one of the 5 soup kitchens run by CMCT staff daily where we served the poorest of the poor and Leslie beautifully shared the gospel of Christ.
The women who receive lunch from CMCT each day via the soup kitchen. For most it is their only meal of the day.
Sundare, Allison, Carlin and Marilee serving the food at the soup kitchen.
After a great lunch at CMCT, we saw the AIDS blood machine. Thanks to many of you for donating toward this gift. The medical staff were thrilled and told us how it will now diagnose not only AIDS, but rat fever, hepatitis, and other infections in 3 hours. The benefit to patients is tremendous, with medication dispensed the same day instead of waiting 3-4 days for test results that were sent out.
The HIV/AIDS blood machine that many of you contributed money towards. They are very appreciative!!
We were able to meet many of our sponsored children today.
Teri with the young man she sponsors.
Thank you to all who sent gifts with us--we took lots of pictures. Tonight we will enjoy more Chinese in Chennai--a meal we all look forward to in celebration of Colleen's 71st birthday. Yum.
