After four months in Canada it is great to be home! We arrived back in India on Nov 1. As soon as we left the plane the smell and heat of India struck us. Even at 2AM it was stifling hot and humid. Still is was great to see familiar faces and be back at home.

We want to thank everyone that opened their doors to us while we itinerated in Canada. It was great to reconnect with people and to meet so many new ones.

On December 19th we help our annual widows meeting. It was a great day. It is so much fun to see the ladies playing games and fellowshipping with each other. As always they received a new sari and a Christmas dinner.
Christmas time means children’s programs and the children’s party. It is always great to see what the children have put together each year. The programs are full of dances, songs and skits. This is a great outreach to the community because they are all held outside and many people come by to stop and watch the fun.
On Christmas Eve we held our Christmas party at the Children’s home. Songs, candy, presents and fireworks were enjoyed by everyone. Celebrating Christmas with these beautiful boys and girls is such a pleasure. Almost all of our children are from Hindu homes, so few of them would have ever heard the Christmas story or experienced the joy Christmas. We want to thank everyone that made this Christmas party possible for us.


We celebrated the New Year with both a New Year and old year service. Already 2010 is looking to be a very busy year.



In February we hosted our first team Kitchener Gospel Temple. Besides painting the children's home Pastor Burton held revial meetings.
It was a great time and we saw many miracles and several cam to Christ. We thank the team and Pastor Burton for all of their hard work and sacrfice.
