Boy's Home

Good Morning!!

We arrived home from the boy's home at 5am this morning after 9hrs on the bus...blah! We left Sunday night at about 11pm and drove until 8am, again...blah! SO we haven't slept for a couple days but there is plenty of time for that when we get home.

I LOVED the boys home! The boys were so fun! We played "ring around the rosie" which they thought was so fun, especially the falling down part. We changed it a bit so sometimes we "hopped" around the rosie or we whispered the song and shouted at the end...the kids had fun coming up with different ways to play. none speak english so they did their best to sing the words but it was more hummed...they all got the "all fall down" part right though!

We met several people from the church and had a good time sharing testimonies, prayer needs and songs. We were treated as very special guests of honor and given flower garlands to wear.

The people are very passionate about spreading to other villages to share the gospel. They have been very successful in the village they live in but now they want to continue bearing fruit in the other 450 surrounding villages.

Some prayer needs that they brought up we want to share with you so you can pray as well. One of the families has a baby girl who is ten months old but is very very weak. She is the size of a newborn and is just skin and bones. They have taken her to the Dr who hasn't been able to do anything for her. She was very precious and I really pray the Lord will heal her! Her name is "Loti" which means "Light" Many men need work as construction work is not very "booming" right now. A last request is that one woman's husband comes to the Lord. She began going to church and her husband who is Hindo got very angry. When the wife began bringing her 3 month old daughter to church with her he got so angry that he beat her one night cursing that she would not only let herself go but involve his children also. The next day their perfectly healthy 3 month old died. So now the husband fears God and is going to church but needs prayer that that fear would turn to understanding and love for God.

We come home so soon! I can't wait to see everyone!!
Lots of Love,
The McKay Family

  2. Praise the Lord you were able to visit the boys home...

    Praise the Lord God has brought needs to your attention so they can be prayed for...

    Praise the Lord that Yehuda was given a job even though he is out of the country which includes a pay raise and benefits (is that cool or what?)

    Praise God for new found relationships that will last for a lifetime

    Praise the Lord for those you were able to encourage and minister to while you were in India...

    Praise the Lord you are safely on your way home soon.

    Praise God for an awesome, growing, faith- building experience.

    Praise God for all He is doing in your family's hearts today, and what He will be doing in the future!

    Your Friend,
