I am now in the countdown to days before I leave Abu Dhabi!  God has given me tickets to travel to see some lovely folks who were good friends here in Abu Dhabi, so I will be traveling for several weeks before I land in Senegal in July.  Please pray that I get all the work done that I need to do and the packing gets done as well.

Many praises for a successful and enjoyable visit in India.  Our time with the Lucas family in southern India and my time in Mumbai was very fruitful and refreshing.  Priscilla Wilson, the new Director of Children’s Ministries at ECC, connected so very well with the children at the Lucas’ school and had warm conversations with all the Lucas family.  Brigitte Wensauer had good encouraging sessions with the teachers and also enlivened our fellowship with the Lucas family.  Brigitte cooked an authentic German meal for us all!  I was able to have individual time with each of the Lucas family members.  Many plans for the future were discussed with all of us, and a good sense of transfer was achieved.

My time in Mumbai, while short, was also a real blessing for me and my friend.  We were able to have several very fruitful discussions as well as some fun relaxing and shopping time!

I return spiritually refreshed and encouraged from my time there.  I also have only three weeks to finish all the work at ECC, pack and ship all my goods and leave for a second trip of encouragement to friends who are dear sisters and brothers in Great Britain, China, Malaysia and Philippines before arriving in Senegal in July!

Please pray for wisdom and efficiency in using my time wisely, health and humor in this time of transition.  I still need 43% of my needed monthly support, so please continue to pray for this.

One of my final pleasures and responsibilities is one last trip to visit the Lucas Family in India.  The Lucas’ have a Christian school in the midst of a strong Hindu area of southern India.  I will be taking the new Director of Children’s ministries and another lady from the church to introduce them to India and the Lucas’ and their ministry.  I will then visit a lovely Christian woman in Mumbai I have been mentoring for several years.

Please pray that these two visits will be fruitful and be a good transition for ministry contact between the Lucas’ and ECC, and a good time of encouragement and fellowship in Mumbai.
