He says Heis faithful, and He is more than He says He is.We arrived safely and without concerns, we passed allconnections and customs was a breeze.We arrived in Lakla, Assam, India to a downpouringrain. While it was actually a decent trade off to allthe snow, the welcoming team had to cut their danceshort.From the frontline, We have seen God's Mercy and Gracein many ways. The people have been very welcoming andfairly receptive of the Good News. We have visitedvarious parts of the surrounding Lakla area, and haveshared to 4 different people groups. We are workingfrom an Acts 2 model, Hear. Repent and Baptize. Almost1000 have heard so far, many have Repented and askedChrist to be Lord of their lives, and a number havebeen Baptized in local river! Hearts are beingtransformed after years of following many gods to theONE TRUE GOD. We have prayed over and anointed withoil, three very sick woman. God is showing Himself inmany ways, affirming our faith in a mighty way. OurEvangelists and Interpreters have been very focused.Everyone is pretty healthy so far. Our bodies aretrying to adjust to the 11-1/2 hour time difference.God is using our team of 16 in specific Ephesians 2-10ways. Each of our gifts and talents are being usedbeyond coincidence.
