Whenever there are school holidays, we try and take advantage of that by having some type of special meetings, or by taking some of the children on an excursion somewhere. Today also was a school holiday (a Hindu festival), so there was a meeting with children and some adults in one of the local villages. In October there will be a major Hindu festival which is generally called Dasara, when many of the schools and colleges will close for 5 to 10 days, depending upon govt rules, the particular college, etc. I'm sure the brothers we work with will arrange some special meetings and/or excursion to try and bring some spiritual benefit to the children. Below is a group of about 15 children who went with 5 adults to a city called Vizag. Here they are at the zoo. Please continue to pray for the precious ministry to children and their families.
