Godfrey H.I. Rajkumar, me, Gene Hennig, Paramadass
Sunday was sort of an "India" day at my church, Mount Olive Lutheran Church, in Minneapolis. Two visitors - Godfrey Rajkumar, from Mumbai, and Paramadass, from the remote villages of the Upper Hills of Tamil Nadu near Kodaikanal, were there to speak about Bethania Kids (http://www.bethaniakids.org/).
During the night on Friday and on Saturday, we got a heavy snowfall. It was the first time Godfrey and Paramadass had seen snow! Gene and Kristie Hennig hosted a nice gathering at their home in Chanhassen on Saturday night. On Sunday, I played the organ for our two Eucharists and the guys spoke at our education hour about how Bethania serves three categories of children: orphaned, semi-orphaned (one parent), and handicapped or mentally retarded.
It was a great day...We wish Godfrey and Paramadass godspeed, and we hope that they return to India and our Bethania Kids with renewed vigor.
