Life in Kolkata
Suddur St is still the same, there are still many beggars, many rich filling the streets.
It's always quite difficult on your emotions walking through the streets. On the one hand you want to help everyone, but if you did, you'd be left destitute yourself..which might be a good thing, but wouldn't leave you in a good state to try to work for the long term goal.. to help these people find the real bread from heaven..the bread that will give them eternal life.
We spent our first day in the markets buying nick nacks for the bible week and getting some clothes sorted..and then 2nd day once mum and dad arrived much the same. Jen arrived in Kolkata and needed to buy a wardrobe of Indian clothes...so we set to, and achieved.
Then it was off to Seva Kendra to the venue for the bible week and to have a night here to set up before the guests arrived.
And now there is internet here...which is pretty cool, cause it means we dont' have to make long taxi rides if we do need to get in touch with anyone. So it's time to go.... and get started with the Bible week. Please pray for our work here this week.
