Knoxville

Well, it’s been a while since I wrote and there has been MANY things that have taken place! So I’m going to back date these next three posts!

ANYWAY…After Colorado Springs, Arjuna, Raji and I traveled to Knoxville, TN where there are two amazing women, Mercy and Sandy, who have been working to connect us to the Buckner Foundation. We had great meetings with the people at the Foundation and we will see where this connection leads.

Raji - Sandy - Me - Mercy

Mercy is an Indian lady from Vizag (the same city as Raji and Arjuna). She started a school there that grew to be the number one school in the entire city! She is a bit of a celebrity in Vizag to this day. Both Raji and Arjuna’s children graduated from her school

Sandy spent her life in medical administration and traveled all over the world. She met Mercy quite a few years ago and now Mercy and Sandy live together in Knoxville and continue to serve the Lord. They both have an AMAZING gift for hospitality as you can see from the INCREDIBLE buffet that Mercy prepared for 50 people the first night we were there!

Papads - Biryani - Tandoori - Curry - Mango Pickle!

Then they turned around and hosted a brunch the next morning for 30 women from their church! At both the dinner and the brunch a short film about VN was played and then Arjuna was able to speak about the ministry to those present.

It was a BUSY four days!
