Blessing for Abhishek

On 13th Dec, Abhishek and Abigail had their School Annual Day celebration.

Abigail was in the welcome dance and she did very well.
Abhishek was in the Drama. Also he was blessed to be the BEST STUDENT IN SCIENCE IN JUNIOR SECTION. He got a rolling trophy for that!

Trip to Kattappana

We had been praying for many years to take our colleagues, staff from Bangalore Church to Kattappana to visit our family and places. Finally God answered our prayers and in the first week of Dec. 10 of us could go to Kattappana and had a wonderful retreat. Georachen & family worked so hard arranging the house and preparing wonderful food for all of us. Chechy made delicious payasam, Amminichechy and Ennammachechy made delicious Rabbit fry. We had wonderful prayer times and lessons and devotionals on the mountains and in Anchuruli. All who came with us were so appreciative of the service of all our family members. They were also amazed about the beauty of the wonderful places God created in and around Kattappana.

Safari

Beena & I went for a National Leaders' Retreat in Bennarghatta National Park. It was a great time of learning and fellowship. We also had so much fun watching the nature and being with the wild animals. Spotted deers, barking deers etc. were always around us and were very friendly.
