Weekend with Karnataka Christadelphian Youth
The women of discussion groups and prayer circle
The spontaneous singing
Berny & Pavi - the organisers :-)
So heading back to where I left off in Bangalore, with my story about getting off at the wrong station and then being tricked by the stupid auto driver. You can't afford to be tired in India - the minute you let your guard down and decide to trust someone, you get cheated. The truth was, both Ness and El had caught my fluey thing on the train and were both out of sorts, so by the time we got off the train, they needed quickest method possible to the mission flat.
It was so lovely to catch up with Jo and Dave, and Benji and Lija. I have so much respect for a couple who give up nearly 2 years of their lives with dedicated service, and with 2 boys under 6. Life in the field is not easy.
As soon as we arrived, we were fully made to feel welcome with a western brekky, and after some time we packed ourselves off to bed. The train arrives at some ridiculous hour, and my body alarm clock always goes off too early cause I get worried I'm going to miss the stop.
Bernadin arrived and we went off to Commercial street for a KFC lunch. Twas so so good to see her again. Then more treats in the evening - Dave and Jo cooked up a massive pot of spaghetti bolognaise. Now in India - there isn't much better than not having to eat a meal which involves rice. It becomes a little tedious after a while.
The weekend was led by Bro Tim Dean (Ness's boyfriend) on our Sure Hope - and he looked at fulfilled prophecy with Israel, and gave some great studies. Very encouraging. If the Jewish people have become a nation, we can know for certain that God fulfils His word, and our Lord is returning to the earth soon.
Beckakka once again led the games for the young people. I think we had about 30 there altogether.
We taught some new PTL songs and thoroughly enjoyed the fellowship there. After memorial on Sunday and SS, we had a discussion group on 'enduring to the end' which was also fab to discuss in separate male/female groups before coming as one before our Father and offering petitions. I love KCY. It was such a brilliant weekend, and we all benefitted so much. I was very thankful that we were able to fit it into the program and the girls could meet these amazing sisters, and brothers.
Time ran out so quickly and before we knew it, we were back on the overnight train to Hyd.
