After a long couple of days spent traveling including a layover in Dubai, we made it to Bangalore! We have already spent so much time together enjoying each other's company and navigating this new culture.
We are thankful to have made it through customs and immigration without any trouble and with all of our suitcases.
We were greeted by an amazing church community at the airport, and spent the night in a local hotel. We then had the opportunity to attend church this morning and witnessed new ways to worship, upbeat and joyous songs, and wonderful intentional prayer. We are beyond grateful for the hospitality and generosity that has already been shown to us.

Driving to Rays of Peace!!
Later today, we drove the additional hours to the Rays of Peace Campus where we settled in, had a wonderful dinner and conversation with the children, a lively devotional and testimony session, and finally, a recap and prayer to end the evening.
We plan to start working bright and early 5.20.2024 (Monday) morning.
Devotional Time at Rays of Peace
The children at Rays of Peace welcomed us with beautiful flower leis!
Some ways we have seen God work already:
-Through the answering of our prayers regarding travel and visas
-The God given words spoken to the church and campus through our devotionals and testimonies
-Ensuring the safety and health of the team members
Prayers:
-A strong start to the workweek
-Good weather (less rain) for the team members who will be trenching
-Correct amount of supplies are purchased/acquired
-Intentional time spent with the children
We look forward to updating with our first work update in a few days. We appreciate all of your love and support!
Praying for the group and the work…!!
Praying for you all.
