About the political situation—there are new political leaders in place since the genocide of 18 months ago. People are hopeful that although there is still a strong movement against Christianity or any change from Hinduism, the govt. will be there to protect people more. I think there will still be isolated cases of violence against pastors and Christian leaders though. We’ll see.

We have heard from the young woman who is housing 30 children, half of them total orphans. We’re waiting for a report from TENT in January. Also we found the organization that supports three of the other women in Orissa. There is a U.S. program called Vision India and they oversee the work of many churches and orphanages in India. We’ve decided not to support people directly anymore. It’s too important to have someone on the ground who can visit and see with their own eyes what is happening. I do want to write some of the Orissa stories we were told while there and then we’ll see which of the fourteen women we may want to support in the future based on how much of their plan they have implemented.

That these women are returning to do God’s work in the face of such grave danger is as good an example as any I’ve heard of what Jesus meant when He said in Matthew 19:26:
“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
God bless them. We prayed for them this morning at the men’s breakfast prayer meeting.
