Our love for others is our grateful
response
to the love God first demonstrated to us. 1 John 4:19 TPT
Our time in India has flown by and has
been very fruitful. Working alongside The Master’s Touch Church and
Pastors Mike and Megha Gutknecht has been a great joy. In addition to regular church services,
prayer meetings, home groups and Bible Study, there were special outreaches
during December.

Eye clinics in India are not at all
clinical! With numerous people
participating in multiple conversations, carried out in five languages, the
cozy space we were set up in sounded like a large family gathering. Which – to be honest it really was. Eye exams were conducted, glasses were
distributed, neighbors visited with each other, and the Gospel of Jesus was
shared.
What a joy-filled day it was. By our best count 80 people had their eyes
checked, 60 pair of glasses were gratefully received, the gospel message was
shared. Regardless of their ethnic background, religion, age, or vision
problems - all were prayed for and touched by Jesus’ love.
Baiganbari – Tea Garden Village
The local team from The Master’s Touch has
an ongoing weekly outreach to the Tea Garden Village of Baiganbari. Strong relationships have developed over the
years as they help the children with schoolwork, teach Bible lessons, provide
basic medical care and assist with other basic needs throughout the year.
Haircuts at Baiganbari - Armed
with plastic salon capes, hair clippers, scissors, combs, ready smiles and
generous hearts – a team of eight hair stylists from a local salon descended on
the village and provided free haircuts to over 20 children.

Thank you for being a part of showing
Jesus Love to “the Least of These” (Matthew. 25:32-40) We believe it brings a smile to Jesus’
face as we share His love in a tangible way – especially as we celebrate His
birth and share the real reason for Christmas.
