The Light of the world is strong medicine! Our time in India was RICH! It was filled with wonderful conversations with Jiwan and Esther, and it strengthened a long and fruitful friendship. We reminisced about people we know, places we’ve been, and the many things we’ve seen the Lord do. Your prayers were felt in
