Almost two months in India

God is very faithful and He keeps blessing us in India. He heals us from colds, keeps sending money for our stay here, protects us from snake and scorpio bites and just gives us realtionships and ministry so we can Glorify Him
All we can do here is because of His grace and For His Glory! 
Past few weeks again were fruitful and encouraging. We appreciate SO MUCH all your prayers, we know that because of your support, the spirtual battle here is so much easier for us! 
Here are some pictures of our past experiences. 
we had our hands painted with the henna. It's called MEHENDI
One girl from House of Joy did it for us. It took her no more than 15 minutes!
It will stay for about one week.
A week ago we visted one Kindergarten teacher - Savitha. It was our first visit in hindu house. 
Last week the group from Texas, USA came to ACA campus. Their church sent them here for a short missiontrip as they are one of the ACA supporters. It was a very special time. They were amazing example of hardworkers and just great followers of Christ. They were leading chapels, having lessons at school, doing construction work. We were joining them in some of their activities and we are so encouraged by their attitude, service, sense of humor ;-) and energy.

Trip to Ooty / YF Camp


Last week was full of great experiences! We visited Hebron - christian school in Ooty and after  that spent 3 days on Youth Fellowship Camp for the students of this school in a Quiet Corner campsite. This time was a wonderful blessing to both of us. Thank you for all the prayers!

We sent you some pictures to show what by God's grace we were able to do, see and experience! 

On our way to Ooty we visited Mysore palace,
 wonderful residence of former king of this region

We also saw some beautiful landscapes, because Ooty lays in
mountain range of Western Ghats
And we saw some wild monkeys!

Before going to camp we stayed for two days in the Hebron school in Ooty.
During that time Justyna  gave a speech on the school asembly on Col. 3:23-24
We were able to do some sightseeing, as Lori who took us there knew the place a lot. Ooty - an old british
 tourist resort in the mountains with the mild climate and tea plantations on the hills was a great place to visit.
And the views were outstanding! 
Going to a traditional tribal village gave us diffrent perspective of living in India (picture of women from
 the Tota tribe, the one that lived in Ooty region before the British came)

And we also did some nice shopping on the market :)
After days in Ooty we went with the Hebron students and stuff for the Youth Fellowship camp for 14-16
year old students of the school. On this picture: Lori, we and school committee - older students who organised
 the camp. Getting to know these young people with the hearts willing to serve God was
a hudge encouragement for us!

Each of us gave a testimony - here Marta speaking on Friday night...
 ... and Justyna speaking on Sunday morning. We pray that God would use our testimonies in the hearts
 of these young people.
Older students with some of our help performed a drama about second coming of Christ. God also used
 this way of sharing the gospel and touched hearts for repentance

We thank God for this wonderful time with the Hebron students. Please keep praying with us for their hearts as they keep growing in Christ.

Random villages. One of the cleanest actually :-) Goats and cows everywhere. They keep them for milk, wool.
In every village they worship one on many gods and they build one temple.
