At the end of the proofreading project in Bengaluru, we had a couple of days to relax. The schedule was such that in case of any unfinished task, a few more extra days were planned beforehand. Since we could finish the project well on time, we ended up having more time to spend.
A sister who participated in the proofreading project was so keen on inviting us to her home for a time of lovefeast and fellowship. Due to her persistence in inviting us, we ended up visiting her for dinner. She prepared all that she could to make us truly enjoy an Indian dish. In fact, we all enjoyed the traditional meal prepared for us. Thanks to the sisterly love a sister had poured forth. She captured the opportunity available to her to show her love to us as Mary did to the Lord before He accomplished His early ministry. From our side, we encouraged the sister and her family to enjoy the Lord and be in fellowship with the saints in the church in Bengaluru. We also prayed for the entire family in addition to encouraging them to dive into the ministry and be constituted with the truth. They were very precious as they were all local Kannadigas whom the Lord could use for His testimony in Bengaluru and in different parts of Karnataka.
A brother also invited us for a time of lovefeast fellowship with his family. One day, we spent our whole day traveling back and forth from our hotel to his house and the time spent in his house. Bengaluru traffic took most of the time. But the visit to our brother's family was truly worth it. The love they poured forth for the saints was praiseworthy.
These two invitations were very precious to us. During our more than a month stay in Bengaluru, we had been feasting only on hotel food. With these two homes, we were able to enjoy deliciously home-cooked food prepared with lots of love. May the Lord bless the two families for His testimony in Bengaluru!
Lord, bless the saints and the church in Bengaluru!
