It is not the Destination - But the Journey
Blog 3
The month of October 2018, has been a great learning for us as a family. We as family understood, it is not the destination that matter rather the journey towards it.

| Our Life learning with a Smile |
We
realized we put-off too many things in life and become busy 24*7 in order to
pursue the things that we want to achieve for His kingdom. Things like family,
enjoying with friends, building new relationships, working out for both mental
and physical fitness, taking regular Sabbath, experiencing peace, forgiving
enemies and enjoying small things in life. We realized that we were too focused
and unknowingly lost ourselves personally on the way.
We
are not saying we are giving up our dreams and goals rather we understood it is
important to find the right balance that allows us to pursue big things without
sacrificing the small things that makes life worth living. Life is the journey
but we seldom live out to its fullness. Understanding our situation, we both
went on a long bike ride (Our love
languageJ) where we
discussed and regulated our priorities.
Mission
Updates

| The family who gave us Space for Ministry |
To our surprise, a neighbor (a family who follows other faith) invited us to conduct the ministry in their house, which was big and spacious. They also supported our ministry by sponsoring snacks and refreshments to our children. The family actively helps us in the ministry. Expecting a miracle in life? He assures to bless you in uncommon ways.
We praised God for
who He is and how he opened doors for us in the village.
English Classes: We are presently helping few students from our village to learn English. Recently, we came across a girl who got over 84% in her final year High School but now she is struggling in her college studies resulting in 4 arrear papers because of poor English knowledge. 70% of the students from the village won’t make it to Masters Studies because of this issue.
Thus, we want to
address this issue starting from our village. Though the approach is small now,
we want to expand the classes with right tools, trainers and resources to make
it a success. We ask of your prayers.
Youth Meeting: Every Monday, all the youths of our local church visit a family in our village for fellowship, prayer and blessing. It will be a time of Prayer, Sharing, Bible study and witnessing Christ to one another.
We are a Child Protector: This
month, we had an opportunity to volunteer and be part of a Social Welfare
Meeting organized by our friends within our home town. It was a meeting, were an
exclusive booklet and short-film based on Child Abuse and Protection was
released for the community.
It was a time of learning and pledging to become an active volunteer to take the message to all the children in the district. We are planning to organize special sessions on “How to protect yourself from Child Abuse and will explain the laws concerning the crime” with the children in schools, villages and in community center.

Our October Joy and Thanksgiving!
We pledged to become a child protector in our community. We will be addressing (Through sessions), reporting (to local government authorities) and restoring (Counselling) children who are abused in our locality.
We got a new place (Spacious and with all facilities) for our children project in one of our village.
