Packing Up

                              Yesterday, we drove 3 hours to visit a man who is very important to Pastor Samuel.  I have already packed my notebook so I can’t tell you his name, but he is Samuels mentor.  He is 86 yrs old and still climbing stairs!  He spoke english ok so we talked for a few [...]

Drive, Drive, Drive

                   Drive.  That was the theme for the day.  We left at 8am and our ‘funniest picture’ of the day happened right off.  The picture on the left is a political advertisement.  It shows the leader of India at a table with such notarieties as Obama,Clinton,Castro and even Prince Charles.  Unfortunately, people believe that stuff [...]

Kids Day

                 Grace is Pastor Samuel’s daughter and it was her birthday today.  To celebrate, we took all the kids to a huge park.  It was a really fun time and we played on all the swings and slides and everything a kid needs to have fun.  As the kids warmed up, they spent [...]

Busy Days…

                           I don’t even know where to begin today, it’s been crazy.  We left just before 8 am to another city named Virudhunagar or ‘V’ for short.  I can’t pronounce it but "nagar" means city.  So, there you go, I know an Indian word.  I also know ‘Nandre’ which means ‘thank you.’  That’s about [...]

Hard to understand…

      The trip to the orphanage turned out way better than expected.  It was fun and exciting to spend time with the kids.  What was most important was that they are very well taken care of by the house parents.  They were joyful and outgoing kids and promised to teach me a little [...]

Shopping trip

                                  The first picture is from the top of the hotel.  A 365 degree view with a lot of people and buildings…  We went to a clothing material store this morning and purchased enough material for 17 pastors and their wives. The pastors will receive enough fabric to make a suite and their wives [...]

Arrival in India

                 We arrived safely to Madurai, India today at about 3am Montana time.  After a quick picture of the airport (followed by a severe scolding from an armed military officer – not to take any more pictures of the airport!),  we drove into Madurai and had lunch at a local hotel.  Believe me when [...]

Four years ago a group of men from the Big Timber Evangelical Church went to Bridge City, Texas with the purpose of helping another church recover from the devastation caused by Hurricane Rita. In the process they met Pastor Samuel Karunanithi, a native of India and the Pastor of Living Word Church. In 2006 and [...]
