from jack...Pastor Sam is the local “Super Pastor” (i.e. he has implemented all our church planting basics and curriculum, and is also training and coaching others to do the same as well as leading community development initiatives in his community), and the Pastor of Shower of Blessings Church in Kalavai. On Sunday, we had the opportunity to worship with him and his congregation, and after a time of worship (the lively and energetic way that is “normal” for Indians but blows most Americans away), Dustin Holliday (our pastor friend from CFH in Washington DC) gave the message, and our very own Denise Walsh gave her testimony. Both did a fantastic job, and were eagerly greeted and encouraged by the church members. In addition, Pastor Sam’s church has grown substantially in the last few months, with increasing numbers of people joining him from the Irla Colony where our teams, Life Mission International staff and leaders, and Shower of Blessings members have begun to focus their outreach and development initiatives.
