last week i had the privlige of going to bangalore india with a star studded cast of students and teachers.  we spent the first and last day's wandering around bangalore, but the bulk of the trip was spent at the beulah home orphanage.  what an amazing place.  there are over 100 children (mostly girls) who currently live at the beulah home.  they are so disciplined, so loving and so gracious.  these kids love God with all of their heart, and it makes me tremble to think about it.  our group went and did VBS club- type ministry with the kids.  they loved every minute of it.  we were also able to do a little painting while we were there. 

if you have a chance- pray for these kids.  and pray for david and shoba dass.  they run the beulah home, and they also run an outreach for prostitutes, an outreach to a lepor colony, and are heavily involved with church planing in their area.  truly amazing people.

here are some pics (thanks Cordell)...
