Something wonderful !

A team from Lalitpur visited us for three days just to encourage us.We had Biju Mathew,Andy Eicher,Pastor Emmanuel and Sharon in the team.They spent the time interacting with the staffs both individually and in small groups.We had an evening of fellowship dinner before which we had a time of thanksgiving,a time of sharing our concerns and putting on paper our vision for the hospital after which we had a time of different ways of praying for the same,cooperately.

He was on his way to AIIMS  where his father was  admitted for the past four months with gangrenous bowel and in between the episode had a bout of stroke and a heart attack. He had an older sister and mother  who was with the father. The father was the breadwinner but the boy had temporarily postponed his class ten exams. He was on his way back after selling the crop to fund his father's expense. The  gentleman with us was a garrulous Indian, who immediately took charge of the situation by looking into the Kundli and started foretelling the prognosis. He even offered the boy some dinner which he refused politely. At midnight our gentleman and his beautiful family of four de boarded in Gwalior.
