Hello Bro. Martin. I am a Pastor from Mumbai, India.I am blessed and feel privileged and honored to get connected with you as well as know you and about your interest in Bible study and christian life. I am blessed to go through your blog post. I am glad to stop by your profile on the blogger and the blog post. I have been in the Pastoral ministry for last 38 yrs in this great city of Mumbai a city with a great contrast where richest of rich and the poorest of poor live. We reach out to the poorest of poor with the love of Christ to bring healing to the brokenhearted. We also encourage young and the adults from the west to come to Mumbai to work with us during their vacation time. We would love to have you come to Mumbai to work with us as well as encourage the body of Christ through the Word of God and your experiences as a Christian. I am sure you will have a life changing experience. My email id is: dhwankhede(at)gmail(dot)com and my name is Diwakar Wankhede. Looking forward to hear from you very soon. God's richest blessings on you, your family and friends. God willing I will be coming to the United States and will be so glad to stop by your place and meet you and your family.
Thank you for your comment.
I am getting up in years, and so is my wife, and I don't think we would be up to a trip to India.
May God bless you and your work.
