Monday in Calicut India

Well it is past midnight in Calicut, India...so I guess it is really Tuesday in Calicut, but I haven't been to bed yet so in my mind it is still Monday.

Today we went over an hour away to meet a Muslim who converted to Christianity years ago.  He has a literature distribution ministry and he gave me about 50 tracts that we could look at and hand out to Muslims in Calicut.  I really liked him.  His name was K.K.  We hope to be able to order some of his tracts and literature before returning to India.

This evening me, K. Vance, J. Shorter, and S. Roberson went to a nursing school where J. shared her testimony and K. spoke.  There were about 60 something girls who attended and they both did an excellent job of speaking.  

K. Wade ran into his cricket friends on the beach and, after spending the week building a friendship with them, was able to declare the Gospel to them.  He also asked them some questions about Islam which they did not have answers to.  They decided to call their Muslim Imam and ask him, but K. Wade couldn't understand his english over the phone so he said he would come to meet him on the beach tomorrow night.  I would be surprised if he showed up, but pray that if he does, God's will be done.  These guys are in the photo below so that you can put a face to them as you pray.

Tomorrow morning we are going to the market place to give away a Bible and an MP3 player New Testament to some ladies J. and S. met.  The middle of the day is up for grabs and tomorrow night is our last night out on walkway in front of the beach witnessing.  This will be the time for us to leave Bibles, tracts, and MP3 New Testaments with our new friends.  Pray that God will do a work in their lives and that they will respond rightly.  

Thank you for your prayers.  We have all remained healthy which is hard to believe when you consider what and where we have been eating.  Check out this fish.  

Yes...that is the whole thing.  We didn't eat him.  Our Indian brothers did though.  Tasty huh.  Anyway, we have remained healthy and we have planted many seeds.  Pray that they will take root, grow, and bring forth great fruit in the months and years to come.
