Train Itinerary
We’re leaving for Kolkata in about 5 hours. We depart tonight (monday) at 11:40 PM and arrive at 4:00 AM wednesday morning. at the train station in kolkata, we are being picked up by a staff member of the baptist mission guest house where we will be staying for the rest of our time in india.
on friday we will begin our work with the sisters of charity (mother teresa homes) and will keep you all posted as much as possible.
for a little background on where we will be: the city of kolkata is dedicated to the goddess kali. kali is the goddess of death and war, the ‘mother’ goddess of hinduism. (for a fascinating glimpse of hindu gods, go look up a picture of her on google images.) one of the mother teresa homes which takes care of the dying is located right next to her temple, the kaligat. kolkata is on the northeastern side of india.
please pray for us to be ambassadors of life, and the God of life. and to speak life to one another on our team continually. also for continued protection and health for us. all has been well so far and we are so thankful!
will post again in kolkata!!!!!!

We are thankful to God for answered prayer in all of your health – Richard (Lisa’s Dad) pointed that out that this was one of the important first prayers requested and heard. Thank the Lord and Glory to Him! Continuing to pray His Light and Life will shine forth from you all as your presence is felt there at the Mother Theresa homes. God Bless.

Hey Team!
Your posts have been beautifully insightful and inspiring. I am proud of all the ways you are pressing through to see these people through God’s eyes. Looking forward to seeing you all in just a few days; we can experience a bit of Kolkata together!

I love getting updates on what you are doing. It makes your mission more relative to me.

I’ll be praying for protection for you from the satanic influence around you. God is all powerful and will be with you.

I googled the goddess. She is NOT pretty inside her heart or outside.
