Pictures!

Sorry it took so long but here they are, the first batch of India pictures. It's hard to pick just a few out of hundreds but these ones made the cut. This weekend will be exciting for us as we will finally get to spend some substantial time with the orphans. They have been kept busy in school all week so we haven't been able to see much of them. We are also going to visit a widow's home this weekend and today we will be attending the funeral of a leper who died last night. Thanks to your generous giving we will be able to help the family of the leper pay for burial expenses. We will also be buying blankets and food for beggars and widows, as helping with microfinance opportunities which will enable beggars to become self sufficient. Instead of continually giving out handouts, Daniel is interested in helping people get back on their feet. This is a huge passion of ours as well. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts and here are the pictures!

We are so thankful for all that He has provided in regards not only for you all to go, but for all He is doing while you're there! We're excited that you're able to use funds to help with the funeral expenses, blankets and food and the micro loans!! There is no end to His goodness.

Prayers are with you each and every day.

Love, Alison, Dan and Kyle

The "quote fanatic" is at a loss for words! Those children will be in my dreams tonight. Thank you, guys, for all you are doing to help these beautiful people.

Wow! Such great interaction with the local citizens; Such a sharing of your hearts. The picures are fantastic. May He continue to bless your journey. Ted, I've printed everything out to take to your Grandma (her computer's not cooperating). Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you & Pastor Dan's ministery.
