India is a great place for unscheduled beauty treatments. All free to those who visit.

There is free hair coloring. The minerals and iron in the water gave me a lovely shade of red. I was a strawberry blond ~ cool! It reminded me of being in Africa and what the water did to my hair there.

Free Botox treatments ~ USE POST IT’S FOR SPOTS TO BE INJECTED-
Mosquitoes are not necessarily good at determining the best place to do injections. I was bitten on the face, once below my eye and on the forehead. Oh yes, my face contorted, but hey there were no wrinkles. I figured that is what botox treatments are like!!!!

I’ll continue to stick with the Moses plan. It’s proven results.

We traveled north of Hyderabad to where Pastor John is opening the orphanage. The target date to receive children is by June first. The orphanage is set up to be self sufficient, with vegetable cultivation, a rice field, fruit bearing trees, and livestock/chickens. It is a wonderful place that will offer a school as well as housing.

I ask you to pray with me for the following:
There is a court decision that is in the process of being decided. Please pray for the Judge to rule in favor of Pastor John. Additional funding to complete the staff quarters and water tower are needed (if the Lord moves upon any of your hearts, let me know and I’ll get you hooked up with the right individuals), assigned staff to take their place, and for the Children to arrive on time in a completed place.

Orhanange, __________Pastor John and a newborn Lamb.

While I was waiting for our flight to depart, I sat next to a lovely lady, Sapna. She asked me what we were doing in India. I shared with her what we did: Supported the crusade, fed the people, and assisted with a free medical clinic. She was moved by what we did. Sapna proceeded to tell me about a situation that she had recently faced. How she had prayed to the Hindu gods and had no results. She then decided to pull into a parking lot of church and pray to Jesus for the answer. The answer came quickly. She asked me if I could tell her more about my God. I said sure. After I finished, she told me that she wanted to follow only my God and no others. She saw that He was the One True Living God. We prayed and the Holy Spirit was all over her. Sapna started fanning herself saying, oh my, I feel, I feel, so happy inside. It feels so wonderful, peaceful, good, that I want to cry. I rejoiced as the Lord made Himself real to her. We sat next to each other on the plane ride to Hyderabad and I enjoyed the exchange of who we were and where we came from. Thank you Lord for another wonderful seat assignment.

Each member of the team is assigned a place. They call my name and tell me that I am assigned to a dentist!!!!.. doing what, I’m not exactly sure, but that is where I’m assigned to and I’ll do my best.

I am led to the exam room and introduced to the dentist. As we talk, I discover she is not saved, but attended a Christian University. She told me she believed all that was shared, but had not made the commitment for Christ. I asked her if she wanted to make that commitment and she said yes. First Exam: One perfect filling. Glory to God.

I have to say, it was hard to watch the exams. Sterilization of instruments was a bucket of water. I wanted to offer up my Listerine, but was restrained as it would be an insult.

The dentist shared how she did not bring her extractors or other equipment. (Thank you Lord!) We did our best. The dentist prescribed dental rinses (when available), suggested follow up appointments, and I gave toothbrushes and paste. I asked if we needed to make sure they knew how to brush their teeth. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn’t.

This is our last day in Mandapeta and we are supporting a medical clinic. The clinic is not for the church members only. It is a free clinic open to all. 9 Indian Doctors (various specialties) are donating their time. It is required of the government that they do so. Many of them have Jesus as Lord as they are friends of Pastor John.

This clinic is a third world medical clinic. Not all of them provide actual services, many are just evaluating patients and giving prescriptions and a referral for additional service. Whether or not the service is sought is based upon financial situations and seriousness of the illness. Many people never follow up because of the lack of funds. At the end of all, we offer prayer ~ where a natural physician can not meet their needs, The Great Physician will.

The clinic will start with the Women and Children. Triage is set up in the courtyard before the church and will be held inside of the church. A pharmacy to pick up prescriptions will be set up along one side of the church.
