A Typical Day

A typical day in Delhi:
-Wake up around 7am
-Just me and Jesus time until 9
-9am team breakfast
-10am (or whenever the drivers and translators arrived) leave for ministry---the team split into three different ministry groups, my group went to a slum and leper colony
-After leaving the house, we would drive about an hour to Pastor Lalmani's house (the pastor at the slums) and have chai and visit with his family
-Then we would head to the slums for our children's program
-After the children's program, we would often have people come to the church for prayer or we would visit houses to pray over people...wow! I saw the Lord's miraculous healing power in a way I had never seen it before! Truly God is SO BIG!
-Next, we would drive about a half hour to our leper colony where we would visit with the lepers and their families, pray over people, and play with the kids in the colony and in the nearby slums (more like they attacked us and we attempted to keep our limbs attached to our bodies). These kids where more starved for love than any kids I have ever seen before. They wanted our love and attention so bad that they literally hit us and hurt us just so we would pay attention to them...this truly was a heartwrenching challenge for me.
-Around 5pm we would arrive back at our house in Delhi
-After arriving home, we would have free time until about 7pm (unless you were on dinner duty that week). This is the time we would wash clothes (by hand), shower, play guitar, read, hang out, or do more ministry prep.
-We would normally eat dinner around 7-7:30
-After dinner, we would usually have either team teaching time, small group time, worship, or free night (Monday).
-We usually went to bed between 11pm and 12am

-This was a normal day in Delhi, except for Mondays (prayer days), Saturdays (off days), and Sundays (church and a little afternoon free time)
