SERVE India

Dear e-pray friends,

Please be praying as we prepare for our team trip to India. We will be leaving at the end of March for 2 weeks. We are getting so excited!! We have included a detailed schedule that you can use to be praying for us. THANK you so much for praying for us, we really count on your support!

Please also keep praying for John as he continues to work on completing the land sale (still not finished!) and for the preparations with the Pastors for the team to come. I talked with John yesterday and he has been sick this past week. He is feeling much better now but please pray for him to keep healthy and for perseverance!

Thank you, again, for praying!!

His joy, Love, The Nanda’s
