India Mission Trip - Pune
Sunday morning, August 25th, at 9:00 a.m., I preached in St. Mary’s Anglican Church of Pune. My subject: “The Rapture of the Church.” Attendance was estimated at 200. There was great interest with many questions after the serviced. Sunday afternoon we went to several villages East of Pune. In the village of Daund I preached in a Presbyterian church with about 100 present. We stopped to visit some friends of Dr. Sane in another village and they placed wreaths of flowers around our necks and served us refreshments, but I did not preach there. Then we went to the Mukti Mission, a Christian orphanage and school for girls and women. I was invited to preach there, and for the first time this trip, a staff member interpreted. We estimated about 135 in the service. I preached on “Getting Through the Storms” (Matthew 14), Jesus and Peter walking on the water. Then we drove back to the Y.M.C.A. in Pune for Sunday night.
