Dateline- Sunday, January 30, 2011- Noita (Delhi), India. There is a dear friend, Pastor Andy and his wife SandrĂ©a and their beautiful 3 kids- David, Sarah, and Naomi- who are an integral part of The Delhi Initiative. I count it a real joy and privilege to work with such a leader. Pastor Andy has a vibrant new church of several dozen believers only a few years old and it is always a special joy to minister there. Lauren played the keyboard and sang “Hosanna” for the offertory; the entire congregation was blessed and began to sing along with her. Soon the entire worship band was accompanying her and she played on to lead us in a beautiful time of worship!
Lauren's video of her in ministry will be added soon!
We are all well- by the grace of God- thank you for your support and prayers. Please continue. There is always an ever present danger lurking and waiting for an opportunity to attack! Food, water, pollution, sleep, sickness and emotions, among several of life’s basic issues- seemingly all have their own little demons assigned to them by the enemy- just waiting for their special opportunity to fulfill their duties in full force. It is crucial to be on guard at all times- which is a daunting task without question. That is why we are so very grateful for those of you who stand in the gap with us to help implore the Lord’s ministering angels to be our rear, side and forward guard at ALL times- so we can get on with the business of ministry at hand!

We have finally arrived! After so long- we are so very happy to be here in India as a family! For all those who have been praying for us, supporting us, and encouraging us along the way- we are here! Incredible India is new and exciting for the family and the week of ministry ahead will be an exciting one. We start in the morning at a fairly recent new church plant with Pastor Andy- who has become a dear friend these past several years! More news pictures and videos to come!
Hi there everybody! It's lauren. I had such an experience today shopping. We went to a little street market store and then to the biggest 5 story mall that I have ever seen! The food here is really good. I was reminded of how blessed I am today when a young girl came up to me asking for money. Thank you all for praying for us.
Nate says: Its a wonderful experience that we could all be together in India where we are supposed to be! The Indians are very friendly and helpful people. I am looking forward to the services and meeting all the people!
Prayer Requests: 1) Health- please continue to pray that no one gets sick; and that we would all get over our colds. 2) Saftey- we need God's hand of protection every moment of every day. 3) Effective Ministry- that we owuld be used by teh Holy Spirit to bring about the richness of God's hope and grace to an impoverished land so hungry!
Lauren's qoute: "I am fascinated."
