Connected again!

Praise God for Tata Indicom! Today they provided a free WiFi internet connection at the Mumbay airport. We are on the way to Jaipur. We have finished some wonderful days in Machillipatnam at the coast of Andra Pradesh in the southern part of India.

In this area we are visiting "Faith Action for Community Transformation" which is running many social and educational programs for the poorest of the poorest. We have been able to raise some funds for victims of the Tsunami. This time we anly visied one of the projects we have been involved in. So far we have proviede 43 fishing boats and about 300 fishing nets. We have provided drinking waters and irrigation canals for some villages, and we have provided houses for 122 people!

I will never forget what happed to us that day we were visiting the 122 people that had moved into their new houses. An elderly man and his family looked me into my eyes and said: "You must be a child of God! We used to live in the mud. We were treated like animals. This is a dream to us! You are like angels of God to us! Thank you! Thank you! I never thought that this could happen in my generation. I was hoping that the third next generation would be able to live in a house, but now we have a house of our own! It is a dream!"

My heart broke and I could not hold back my tears as I stood in fron of this happy and thankful family! Thanks to the Lord and his people this miracle has taken place. To God be the glory!
