Any day that starts after 10am has got to be good. For the first time in a week, we slept-in and started devotions at 10:30am. Sean led us in a fabulous devotion out of Psalm 24:7-10. This became our rallying cry – we would open the doors and gates of our hearts to let the King of Glory come in and “leak” all over everyone we met today!

The teams then split for the day. My team (Natchi, Jalet, Sean “the rose” Olivier and Suma) headed to Tidel Park for a Christian Fellowship meeting. This is an extremely large IT Park in Chennai. About 50 Christians gathered from a variety of companies to worship, pray and share God’s Word. With an amazing voice I hadn’t heard before, Janet led a great worship time and then I shared rēp’s teaching on our businesses being part of our Households. At the end of the meeting, we had a brief but powerful prayer time with the leadership team for the fellowship. Can you imagine the impact they are having in their companies and the whole IT park as they meet together? I can and I am so encouraged! Then, two of the leaders, Pradeep and Melvin, hosted us for a great lunch in the “Planet Yum” food court which had at least 10 restaurants to choose from!

In the afternoon, we met-up with Esther, an alumni consultant and one of our primary intercessors for Chennai. “The Rose”, Jelet and I had a wonderful time catching-up with her, encouraging and praying with her. She is such a blessing to the rēp community! Of course, she wouldn’t let us escape without praying for us and buying us coffee and snacks. Indian hospitality is amazing…

The majority of the team returned to our hotel for a night-in.  We enjoyed good food at the [somewhat] Chinese restaurant in the hotel, shared stories not fit for print, gained wisdom from Sean and Carla and are now turning in for an early evening and a full day tomorrow. Good night!
