Sabbath on the beach

This morning we went to church with the director of YWAM Goa ... and so we went to the beach. I now think that God designed the system to have church in His building -His creation, instead of ours. He is the master architect. It was their yearly baptism service, so we had good timing. Church under the palm trees, on the sand, the chorus of waves, and professions of faith, followed by baptism in the ocean. Beautiful.

I just got back from my first project trip in Goa, India. What a wonderful experience it was to see this YWAM ministry and the family like atmosphere. It is difficult to keep God in our little boxes when we see/experience Him working mightily on the other side of the world. Praise God!

We all worked very hard this last week to produce a design for a new facility for 60 people for the YWAM Bridge Institute in Goa. The intensity was like design studio in school before a presentation. I was up until at least midnight most days just working with the team. Good food, good people, good neighborhood, good week, and now time for good rest on the beach (Colva Beach) for two days before jumping on the train again to head to Mumbai, then quickly onto Pune for project trip number two. And the adventure continues.

I want to post some pictures. Maybe tomorrow. Maybe not. I have not been able to go through my pictures yet, but soon. All is well. All are healthy. May God be glorified in all that you do.
