We said goodbye to Justin Levine and our Indian graduates and left for the airport to fly back to Bombay, India. There we said goodbye to Jason Prisk, our videographer for the Tibetan Project video and then Dan Olachea and I prepared to fly on to Coimbatore in South India. We arrived in Coimbatore and were able to pull off a big, big surprise visit. Our teachers there, Michele and Laura Lee had no idea we were coming. To say it was a real shock is an understatement! We also surprised all our students. It was special. One of our students, Birsa, kindly told me that when he saw me walk in, “it was like my father has come to visit me.” I believe God has given all our staff a special relationship with these students.

 I had the privilege of preaching in the Sunday PM churchservice  and  the  Monday  morning  Chapel  service.  Wealso got  to take the first class hour on Monday to sharethe  Tibetan  project  with  our  students.  Seeing  picturesand  video  clips  of  our  graduates  in  Nepal  encouragedthem to know that God has a future place of service forthem. As  I  send  this  update,  I  am  in  the Paris  airport  headedfor  home. When  I  arrive  home  in  about  15  hours,  I willhave been out of the country for 7 full weeks this year.After a few short days at home, the fall schedule of travelwithin  the  U.S.  begins  as  we  will  be  preaching  severalmission conferences and also have the opportunity to re­visit  a  few  of  our  supporting  churches.  I  only  have  acouple of services open between now and the middle ofDecember. WorldView  Ministries  is  expanding  rapidly,  requiringmore  travel  and  administration.  We  have  more  toaccomplish  than  our  staff  can  handle.  That  is  a  goodthing  because  it  directs  our  hearts  in  faith  toward God.We have pledged financial support for projects that is notyet coming in. We are stepping out by  faith,  trustingGod to provide. 

Please pray...
