We are taking a few days off to do the tourist thing at the Golden triangle, we flew into New Delhi which had a surprisingly Western feel with well maintained roads and malls. The traffic was horrendous-cars took no notice of lanes and our driver narrowly avoided being hit by cars inches close to him. In between dodging the beggar girl doing cartwheels for money at the traffic lights and the cows strolling into the road, it was quite an experience! We saw all the...

This is the view from our Beach Shack! It's 07:00 a.m and I'm out on the balcony watching the locals play cricket- a national obsession! Joggers are out in force, an outrigger fishing boat has just sailed off and I can see a couple in the sea doing water aerobics. It's been a busy week of ministry with Healing on the Beach am followed by healing meetings in the afternoon and into the evening. God's love has been poured out onto many. My heart goes out to the beac...

Goa is a beautiful place, it's a bit like Hawaii but less manicured. Our hosts Andrew and Lavanya can't do enough for us.

On Monday we are initiating the first ever Healing on the Beach, fun!! I can't wait to try some Goan fish curry, juicy fat tiger prawns fresh from the sea and...

As it's is too hot to study after 12:30 the kids have lessons until then, lunch and then they have a 2 hour siesta (they are up at 5:30), they then do their chores and then it's play time before they have to wash at 5:45 before devotions and then dinner at 6:30. Bed is at 9:00 but the older kids get to stay up until 11:00 and most of them study in that time. I thought it would be nice to play with the ...
