Summer Ministry Project Day 1


On 29th May 2010. we started my journey at 6.45 am to my Training Center where i was about to meet the group from Oklahoma.Our organizer Scott came to pick me from my house, I was so excited about meeting them and work as we proceed with our schedules.The first lady i met there was Joann, she was a gem of a person...full of positivity and open heart. Then I came to know that i have to go out in a group of 3. my team mates were Tia and Katie P.these two girls were of the same age as me and full of life.with the mantra "LIVE EVERY MOMENT WITH JOY" they always kept on talking laughing, enjoying the time and working for God. We were asked to go to the village Salembad- Muradnagar Delhi Rd. which was around a 40kms from the city.I Katie and Tia with the other Team Shefali, Heather and Stacy took the bus and reached Muradnagar. It was a quite different experience for me driving with American girls in a Public Bus where was no space to sit. It was so crowded and people were hanging on each other. Jesus helped me nicely. Then after reaching muradnagar we came to know that the village we were assigned to is around 8 kms in so we waited started walking as we were not having any convince we walked around half the way then by the grace of God we got one Bullock cart the cart man was so generous that didn't charged any things and dropped us to our destination. It was a good day and a good start even the weather was also pleasant. In India you dun hear that word for weather especially in the month of May. then we walked through the fields. on our way we stooped at the tube well and had water..the water was awesome and fresh and cold. :-) after reaching the village we went to a house. The name of the Head of the house was Shyam Sunder Tyagi he was a Hindu man and was very good at heart he allowed us to sit in his house and showed us the way to the rooms where all womens were sitting. there we met his whole BIG family. his three sons, two daughter-in-laws and around 6 grand children. Her wife Pushpa was a nice lady and all the women gathered around us to hear what were saying. after having Coke and Biscuits they brought for us we asked them if we could share something with them related to Jesus and they said YES...then Tia my friend she shared her testimony and Katie told then the story of the Paralytic man and they were so happy to hear that. They even told us that they heard the name of Jesus before and asked us if we could provide them with some of the Hindi scriptures. It was so good we all felt as if we were planing the seed of the Word of God. then we came back to meerut. Jesus is really Great he helps us in every way :-)
Thank you God
