Thursday afternoon, August 29th, we drove to Uplavi, a village about two hours East of Kolhapur. Dr. Sane has been preaching and teaching there for several years. They had an outdoor platform with a colorful tent over it. Four men led the singing with a guitar and three small tunable kettledrums. A group of children did a special song with some motions. We estimated about 90 present. I preached about 45 minutes on the Cross and they hung on every word. Dr. Sane interpreted for me. I called on them to receive Jesus Christ as their only Lord and Savior and had directed prayer times to receive Christ. Again, I think many could have made decisions but have no numbers. After the service they brought a red carnation to me, then to Dr. Sane, then to the men who led the singing and to the singing children, even the drummer. They have lots of flowers there and love to share them.
