Despite the distractions....

Today started with a morning of youth and what we called India Youth Olympics... 'running the race .....and obtaining a crown of righteousness'. It was not without problems!! All kinds of distractions and interference as well as 3 temp power failures happened ion a short time. At one point one microphone became 'hot' electrically speaking as some how it got connected wrongly, and while David and I both got shocks, no harm was done; then the power went out, (x3) and then some visitors turned up to look at the hall we had hired and walked on the stage and caused distraction... they were soon persuaded to move on!




We all felt the satan was making good efforts to inflict disturbance and distraction to the max. PLEASE double your prayer efforts as we are in enemy territory! despite all that over 80 young people re committed their lives to Christ which a wonderful response! 150 young people had signed up to come but actually 200 attended! (most were new comers!)


At first only one young lady responded to an 'alter call', but because of her boldness (which was truly amazing) approx. 19 others soon joined her and made a decision to accept Jesus. They were all given New testaments in Tamil.
