On Friday night, August 30th, we went back East to another village called Soni. The service there was in a church building that had been closed. There were about 70 people there that night. Again we had singing with a guitar and the three kettledrums. Dr. Sane is starting a new church there so I preached on “The Church,” with Dr. Sane interpreting for me. I had hardly gotten into my sermon when the electricity went off. Dr. Sane asked if I could continue and I did, with God’s help. The single candle they added did not give much light. If you preach at night in India, be ready to preach without notes because electricity often goes off. On the way home Dr. Sane said there were some men there who did not want me to preach but didn’t interrupt the service.
