Here in India, we often do not know about a particular day being a school holiday until the day (or sometimes night) before. Such was the case on August 25th, which was declared a holiday at some schools, but not until the 24th evening. So we quickly took advantage of the opportunity to gather some of the children (and a few adults) for a prayer gathering on the 25th. This time we met at one of the family's house where there is a verandah (porch) large enough for about 30 people. This photo consists mostly of people whom we are involved with in children's ministry, but there were also about 12 or more neighbors who attended. Here, the children have made a crown for Bro. Raju (whose name means "king") out of coconut leaves and some fingers. Continue to pray for our precious children's ministry.
