Greetings, We just got in from Monday evening services. The crowds today were wonderful and packed in the building everywhere. The morning services were highlighted by the visit of a "Senator" from this region to again dedicate the children's home. We did more ribbon cutting with him and gave him a good tour of the facility. I preached this morning as did Bro. Rao from Rajamundry.  We had a good visit with William Carey this evening--he is supported by the St. Louis congregation.  Crowds were "Immense" at every service today.  I had some 400 preachers in the two workshops this afternoon and Elaine had about 300+ women.  Too many to count as they were on the top floor pressed down hallways and in classrooms.

Evening Service-Halfway up Aisle

With India Dignitaries

Morning services numbered 800-900, again almost impossible to count.  They have over 1000 registered as of this evening with more coming.  People are bedded down all over the grounds and throughout the building. We are tired but exhilarated at the wonderful response to the teaching of God's word. I have always felt that my best contribution to this lectureship was the preacher's workshops.  Today just confirms for me that feeling.  If I can in some small way lift up, encourage, and strengthen these men, then many will be reached because of their efforts. Our two hours together today was a wonderful experience. We have found out they use many of the materials Cathy Fuch's sends to them for the Asher church.  From the publication we send and my CD's they get Ideas that help them prepare and preach. It is most rewarding to be with them. Keep us in your prayers....
