India Gospel League

Our Monday was spent touring some of the facilities and grounds of the India Gospel League (IGL).  We were able to get a very quick glance across the spectrum of services and work that they do.

We started with a walking tour of the campus which includes:

* primary, secondary, and community college schools

* hospital for cancer and other terminally ill patients

* Sewing center to make items for resale in the city

* Concrete block and steel manufacturing

* Monkeys

Yep, monkeys.  And we were all pretty darn excited about those goofy little creatures playing in the trees!  I can't wait to post pictures for you! 

We then went into town to see the offices of IGL.  They currently have 50 or so employees in the home office and they greeted us warmly with flower leis that were beautiful and aromatic!

After meeting them all and hearing from them about what they do in the rural settings, we were able to shop for a few things that had been made in their development centers...of course, we couldn't pass any of that up!  The guys with us were definitely done with our shopping excursion more quickly than we were!  

Unfortunately, we have not had the opportunity to meet the head honcho for IGL, Rev. Sam Stephens as our schedule and his schedule have both changed...flexibility is the key to life! But we have gotten to spend time with his wife, Prati, and she continues on with us to the conference so we will get to know her better!  

Tomorrow is more travel to get to the conference site so we pray that it is uneventful!  Thank you all for continuing to pray!
