India 11: 2nd outreach meeting


Along with our video diaries occasionally we will put up videos of the different things we have been doing. This first video ios the beginning of our second outreach meeting. This is a village where they had never heard the Gospel before and because of the water well we provided it gave us an opportunity to share the Christian faith.


Keep following our blog for more video diaries on how the team are finding India and we will try and post more videos of the things we are doing too.

India 11: Day 2


Day 2 has been a day of extremes. We first of all dedicated our first borewell of the trip and we were welcomed like celebrities this was then followed by a trip to an elderly peoples home where all of us ended up being very emotional. This evening we had our 2nd outreach meeting and we ended up in a little remote village where they had never heard the Gospel before and we dedicated a well and shared the Gospel message with around 50 -60 people giving their lives to follow Christ. Have a look at how Jenny and Becci found the day. We will hopefully post some footage up in the next couple of days.

India 11: first full day




So after plenty of travelling we have finally got to the point where we are able to make a difference to peoples lives. Jess and Grace tell us about how they found their first full day where we visited a leper colony to do a medical camp and hand out soaps and toothbrushes and then our first outreach event.

First thoughts from India

Hey guys, well we are just getting on board with this technology thing, but why we do that and try and get some video blogging going we just thought we would touch base and let everyone know what was happening. We have just done our first proper day here after what felt like too long traveling. We arrived at Sudheer's house yesterday at around 9pm India time, that is about 4pm UK time. Everyone was really tired and were desperate for some kip, but our welcome at tenali train station was certainly amazing. As we got off the train after over 7 hours we were met with Sudheer, his team and others who all had flowers for us, which was certainly overwhelming after all the traveling. We are all doing really well at the minute and really appreciate your prayer. As soon as we get sorted properly with the internet we will post the video diaries we have been doing, but there are glimpses of these already on our facebook and our twitter stream. If you have neither of those you can find them on our homepage www.nottinghamyfc.co.uk Looking forward to telling you some amazing stories.
