God Given Restful Day

On Monday, we attended weekly Crusade's staff prayer meeting. We sang some fun dancing worship songs. Then, Keith taught CoJourners tool to India Campus Crusade staff. It is a cool new tool introduced and being tested by Campus Crusade in US. That evening, not knowing that they called for Strike next two days, we wanted to take it slow as we had been having very busy schedules, and visited Tankbund, Lumbini Park and NTR Gardens which are right next to each other. During that time, we got a chance to Abhilash who is a student at one of the colleges here and very dedicated Christian and a prospect Crusade staff. He is a great guy and playing a big role in reaching out to non-believers in his college.

On Tuesday, due to the Stike, we just hungout at our rooms, finishing up our talks for the retreat on this weekend, playing some games and finding some restaurants which are secretly opened through back door, trying not to be found by protestors. Many groups of Army deployed on every corner of the streets.

Here are some pictures:

Stacked up with enough water as we are not sure if we could find a place to buy water due the strike

They get to sleep longer as they can't find work for that day due to the strike. It is very hard on daily labor and homeless people whenever there is strike as such

What a contrast of life here. Notice the big buildings behind. We see this everywhere.
