It's been another awesome but tough week here in India...several of our team members have been sick again, this time with what we lovingly refer to as The Delhi Belly. It hit some of us on Sunday and a few more of us on Monday and we have been slowly recovering day by day. Most people are feeling on the up and up but a couple of us are lagging behind in recovery. Myself and Cory received a visit from the wonderful Harvest India doctor tonight and were given some sort of miracle shot in our rear ends that is the common remedy for the travel sickness that Americans sometimes experience here. John has also been feeling sick with a fever and body aches and Crystal who was sick Sunday and Monday and feeling better Tuesday is afraid her Delhi Belly might be coming back. Crystal and John may receive the lovely butt-shot tomorrow morning if they aren't feeling better. It's apparently a magic potion made up of vitamin K and antibiotics and I am beginning to feel its effects already...at least it's making me very drowsy so I will soon be off to bed.
The rest of the team (Taylor, Bethany, Crystal, Chris, and Lizzi) are off at a night crusade with another visiting short term team from Holland. The crusades through HI bring in thousands of people are a great way to spread the Good News of Christ to an area where HI is beginning to plant churches and foster discipleship. Please be praying for the crusade tonight and that many hearts will be softened and turn to the Lord.
Please also be praying for the health of our team as we have been continually hit hard with sickness and we feel the Enemy really trying to hold us back from getting work done here. It's been a constant battle physically and spiritually but we are comforted knowing that those who love us back home are interceding on our behalf.
Despite illness we are mostly in good spirits and still excited to be a part of what the Lord is doing here in India. More updates to come soon!
Blessings!
