This morning brought new joy as the ladies had their turn of ministering to 200 women, to say the sight was colourful was a huge understatement!
The hall was decked with streamers hanging from the rafters and the women of course dressed in amazing saris. The platform or stage was also magnificently decorated, and discovered this was to cover both this occasion and tonight's graduation ceremony.
The ladies did an excellent job in delivering their messages and concluded with Kym giving a powerful message and a laying on of hands which caused an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. This was followed by bible and saris distribution. Everybody enjoyed the fellowship together.
Tonight culminated in a magnificent graduation ceremony. Their was a band to usher the team and other important dignitaries to the stage (having first gowned up in the most spectacular satin red and gold clothes);
It is impossible to describe the event here without writing a book, not everything went perfect but then we did not expect it to as this is India. None the less it was a huge celebration and when the power went out everybody turned to worship as you would.. wouldn't you ? While the generator got hooked up.
There seemed an endless distribution of certificates, gongs and ribbons and speeches for both students and guests. Songs were sung by 1st and 2nd year students and then the team had their turn despite our fears and Rogers voice it went well, and Layla sang and danced.
We eventually arrived back at the hotel at 10pm and had dinner only to witness to a head waiter (thanks Roger for starting that conversation) and then asked If I could pray for him, to which his response was yes! So another day concluded with joy, .. the Indians know how to party and the gospel was preached!
