Harvest India lost an amazing man this week. The Chief Overseer for Harvest India, Santhie, passed away on Thursday. He was the right-hand man to Suresh and friend of over 30 years. Suresh and Santhie’s friendship was something extremely special. When they were teenagers their town was in the midst of a feud between 2 different castes. Suresh was from one caste and Santhie was from the other. Despite what the majority said they decided as young men to take a stand and went through town holding hands, they ate at each others houses, and were best friends through it all. The feud didn’t last much longer; was it b/c of Santhie and Suresh, who knows? But friendships like that only come along once in a lifetime!!!

Suresh is doing well. He knows that Santhie ran the race to win the prize and God brought him home where there is no more pain. Thank you LORD that we had the opportunity to know him and his selfless giving nature!

Please pray for comfort and peace for everyone in the ministry, including Santhie’s wife and 5 year old son.

Also, I have several family members and a friend struggling with life threatening diseases please pray for them.

One last prayer request, there is an illness spreading quickly here in India called Chicoon Goonya (that is probably not spelled correctly). It is spread by mosquito and since it is the rainy season there are thousands of mosquitoes. Please pray for me, HI staff, and all the kids in the children’s home that we would be kept from this illness.
