Our last leg in lovely and precious India, was that we passed 2-3 days in Calcutta, and we were quite shocked with the desperation, poverty, busy-ness and overall state of life. And so, our hearts now add Calcutta to our prayer list. Our hotel was in front of William Carey's church (founded 1808) and it stands strong and bright. We stood in his original, old, wooden pulpit and touch the baptismal where ADONIRAM JUDSON and Corrie Ten Boom were baptised. It was sweet. Friends there - who are now our heroes - have an effective outreach to the sex trade. It is quite sad and overwhelming, and so please pray with us that Our Shepherd will be Lord on the streets in Kolkata. He will answer that prayer.

Amen, and Amen!
My uncle, Jack Hannah, just spoke at William Carey's church in January for their 150th year anniversary. Maybe you will meet our friend John Thomas another time in Kolkata. A wondeful man, involved in various ministries.
Oops, that should have been their 200th anniversary :)
