COMING HOME

This week Didymus Ramshang from Manipur, India, is back for a visit.
It was such a pleasant surprise to see him suddenly appear at chapel on Wednesday.

In case you're wondering, Didymus (Mus or Amus to his pals here at EAST) graduated last year and is serving the Lord with Church-Based leadership Training (CBLT), in North India.
The para-church group trains pastors, church workers and missionaires to reach out to unreached people groups in India.
(Did you know of the almost 7,000 unreached people groups of the world, 2,327 are in India?)
I'm so glad some of our graduates are directly involved in discipling workers who will reach these people.

Back to the chapel, I saw Mus crying at the first song.
When I talked to him later, he said he was "just so happy to be back."
"Yes, I shed tears because sitting here brings back so many wonderful memories," he said.
"I grew up here, I learned very important lessons here, I made some life-long friends at this school. You can't imagine how much I treasure the time I spent here," he added.
"I really miss this school.
"This is like coming home."

About Me

In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
