Walking in the truth of Isaiah 41:10

Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

The first week of the Medical/Good News Outreach was amazing. Although the stream of patients was much lighter than the previous outreach of 2013, the response to the gospel what much greater. Eighteen in all accepted the Lord and will be followed up by the QCI pastors. 

The Boys Messing with Josh
We also visited the local feeding program where about 40 children are given a well balanced meal each day. They also attend Bible classes where they memorize scripture and are taught about the One True God. Freddie entertained the kids by making balloon animals. Josh wrestled around with some of the boys. The children recited scripture for us in Tamil and English. They sang songs. When it was time to eat, some of our team helped serve them. We ended the visit by passing out school supplies and toys. It was a wonderful experience. You could not help but wonder what the Lord would have in store for these little ones as they grew up. 

God gave many blessings over these days. However, the enemy was working behind the scenes through local authorities that are hostile to any Christian ministries. Please pray for us as we have been ordered not to continue the outreach into next week. We are complying with these orders and pray there will not be any ongoing trouble for Quiet Corner in the future. We have taken the weekend off to do some sightseeing and praying. Pray with us that the authorities will have a change of mind and let us complete the outreach planned for next week. 

We'll keep you posted.
