So it was awesome how the people have received me in India...I was garland everywhere i entered...they do honor outsiders much...I loved all the honoring ...but instead in was Jesus whom deserve all the Honor...
I lived in what is the one of the best hotels in that area...it was a room that looked out on the street...well now that sounds awesome right....
Well not quit...Hahaa..My room was moldy and the toilet was disgusting...my bedding was stained and cockroaches lived in the cupboard where my clothes is suppose to be ....Hahaa..I have never experience such a thing....Outside the traffick was so noisy...i looked down ...I saw thousands of people,busses,truck,bicycles,motor cycles and cows all over the road...I was amazed....This roads is not safe at all...no traffic rules also....Hhaaha.You are allowed to drive as you want and pedestrians pass the road as they want.Cows is taking rest in the middle of the road....Hahhaha...It was so funny to me.I thought I am seeing a scene from a comedy...
How can this people live like this...I came to learn more and more as we went around....
I loved everything though....its exciting...
At the pastor's home I was more shock....They didnt have a house like pastors in my country have...They have a two room house..one room sleeping and another one what might be the kitchen....so where is their toilet and tiled bathroom I thought.....Well thats outside...and its definitly not what I expected...
They all sleep together in one room,which also is the living room as well.They have one bed and others will simply sleep on the bare ground...oh my...everyone gathers on the ground for food.What is this....they cook food outside and washing is also done outside on a stone.Women does there dishes outside too.How can they do this.How can they live like this....they dont even have proper brooms ...I thought....
Anyway..I was happy to come back to my room evenings after ministry.Even though it wasn't a good room ,i felt kind of safe there...its not so primitive I thought....I would lay awake long time at night.Everynight I would talk to Pastor Raj too of how ministry was going and how i felt about India.Thank God I can clear up all uncertainties with him and i can ask him anything I want to know.I feel more free to ask him.
Ministry in India is awesome...I get to meet many poor people and my heart is just overflowing with compassion.I see many people laying on the street,sometimes it seems that they are dead. I was passing a man one day he was calling out to me ...in a very weak voice...flies was all over him....ahh I wanted to reach out to him...but I couldnt.Why was people simply passing the poor and half dead that is laying on the streets,why is no one helping them???Much later I would come to know that in India no one cares for no one.Its very rearly that someone will help another.Very Rare...
What is Indian peoples minds like then???Even "Christians" don't care!My heart is broken.I came to know also that there is so many disabled people ,why?I found it wasn't just poor health care in India but also because of marrying close blood lines...that's what I think....oh My and if your are disabled and have no money you become the most disgusting thing ever.People look down on these people and they are outcasts.I saw many lepers also.I never knew leprosy still exist.So many dirty face children trying to get some money to buy something to eat...
It seems like many plagues have hit this place...that's whats going on in my mind...What happened to India?
Oh My, everywhere we go we see nice statues and temples from different gods this is in such a contrast of o the poor and dying that lays on the street among so much rubbishes,is here no municialities or what....i dont understand...i dont...flies and dirt is everywhere..and stinking.....so much stinking that I am not even feeling the heat so much.
Many gods...I can never have imagined this...Wow..I came to know that there is 300 000 gods in Hinduism....How why what for????????If here is so many gods why doesnt these gods help India....Hahaa,Why?Because they are dead themselves...Why doesnt the people see that...If this gods is real India would not be in this state....I came to know that India was under a spell of Satan.It is said, when God kicked Satan and his angels out,they all fell on India...can it be true....well it seems like it.
At night I will go back to my hotel room reflecting on the new things that I saw...asking God and trying to understand more about the terrible state this country is in,physically and spiritually....
We had awesome night every night in the 3 day crusade...God gave me boldness to speak infront of people....I would never thought I will be able to do that...Holy spirit helped me.Thank God for a few people who rededicated ther lifes to the Lord Jesus.It was awesome.I met many widows also and was blessed when I was able to help them out with some new sarees(indian dressed).Some were in tears....
It was Christmas time,but the feeling was not there...Why???It felt just like an ordinary day.No celebrations and big lunch,no families that meet,no nothing.That day I ate chicken curry and rice and that was it..Nothing special...I came to know the Great festivals happens only for Hindu gods.Then there is an uproar of people making music and dancing in the streets, carrying their god.Wow, like the Bible say he has legs but he cant walk....i find it absurd that they can believe it all these brightly decorated foam and clay dolls...its a fantasy story....How satan has misled these people.A whole Nation.We also went to see some children at a pastors home.They were about 15 children and he has taken them in his home.So many children is orphans in india...mostly girls.I came to know much later,why.We visit many churches and i bring the message there.People love the messages...Praise God whom have helped me in everything.
The highlight was when we went on a small boat to the other side of a very big lake....there a tribal area and there Jesus is just recently introduced to them...before they didnt know Jesus and they thought that He might be the name of some fruit...Wow I was so sad to hear that.How come this people never heard of Jesus???
It was nice to meet the many believers....its great to know that people are being set free from these idols....that's salvation does happen...even though it is very slow...
My time with the second pastor has no finely came to an end..next i will meet pastor Raj and do ministry with him for my next few days.
Well the day we met was a very strange day to me...Hahha...Not me nor the first pastor have ever seen him in real life so now we are just looking for someone who looks a little like the man on the pic...hard to find him.Pastor calls him and Raj say yes I am just near you .I can see you. how come I dont see him.Well a very short man comes walking in our direction now.Nooooooo this cant be him...hahaa.this man is too short and too young also...and he doesn't look like this man on the pictures at all.I feel kind of disappointed cause he looked different then I had in my head.Somehow I am also feeling happy that he doesn't...hmm its too confusing.Anyway...Praise God ..we have met him and yes he say his name is Raj.
We did great ministry together ,I brought the Word at many churches.Here we actually visited a leper hospital.it was so scary.so many lepers.
I also experienece my first motorcycle drive ...How awesome.We live in a hotel in the City.Get to meet many other Fbookers also...so awesome to see these people in real.We manage to go to a few places like a zoo and a lake...mmm..now this is more what I am used to...Evening Ministry day time roaming around...Awesome..I love India.Days are coming to fast now...feel troubled...this feel like home after just 3 weeks...and it seems me and pastor Raj likes each other...mmm... who knows...
Last three days is super fast, we went to visit one more place on the last day with some friends...had an awesome day...my heart is not happy though.Tonight I will go to the airport...it doesnt feel right...
Its now official that we do like each other...so what to do now...we are staring tragedy in the face...There is so much distance between India and South Africa.How did we let this happen...
Its a sad goodbye...I can still see and feel it up to this day....I was in tears...I couldnt stop crying its was like the feeling at a funeral when you will never see the person again...thats how it felt.A knife through a heart...
We made promises to meet again...To call everyday and talk on Skype...somehow that not enough..Then the last walk away...Like a gun to someones head...Wow ...so much emotion...we walk away looking back waving looking back waving until we couldn't see each other anymore....Good bye India ,Good Bye my precious Raj...As soon as I was checked in I called already...Hahha..More promises promises promises....Phew its sad and happy .At least i will see my family and friends and my sweet little home....looking forward to that...Farewell India...am not sure if I will ever return again...God knows!
Well not quit...Hahaa..My room was moldy and the toilet was disgusting...my bedding was stained and cockroaches lived in the cupboard where my clothes is suppose to be ....Hahaa..I have never experience such a thing....Outside the traffick was so noisy...i looked down ...I saw thousands of people,busses,truck,bicycles,motor cycles and cows all over the road...I was amazed....This roads is not safe at all...no traffic rules also....Hhaaha.You are allowed to drive as you want and pedestrians pass the road as they want.Cows is taking rest in the middle of the road....Hahhaha...It was so funny to me.I thought I am seeing a scene from a comedy...
