When It Rains, It Pours
For years the monsoon has not been very beneficial in India. There has been massive drought. THEN this year it has come with an over abundance of rain. Prakash has had considerable flooding in staff housing and RGI. The RGI girls have done a superb job of helping to...
I Can’t Believe It
We just received a report that the Prakash campus was hit by a terrible rain and windstorm. It just seems that they are being attacked from all side. Most of the campus maintenance personal was on leave so other staff and their children stepped up to the plate...
We Are Home . . . They Have Water
After one day in Mumbai before a VERY long trip home, we are safely back in Montana. Not every thing on our agenda was completed, but we feel Prakash is in a good place. Students will return in a few days and things will be humming on the campuses. Just when we landed...
Slowly, Slowly
This Journal is stories of we have undertaken while here in India. Many had to be put on hold due to the fact that we may need to drill a new well. God knew this would happen so we are trying not to be discouraged. Loren had a former employee come for tea so he could...
HELP!!! No Water

Family Comfort
Wanting to make a visit to Meenu, Joy's widow, while Lorin was here was a priority. We made the trek with Moses driving because we had never been to this orphanage. We had tea and were able to love on Meenu and her two grown children. Also Joy's elderly father is...
Joy Is No More
The phone rang last night from India. Not good news, ”Joy is no more.” This is the Indian expression of death. Satish “JOY” Meshramkar succumbed to a massive heart attack at 5 am India time. Joy was the General Director of Prakash and second in...
Women’s Day at RGI
Yesterday was International Women's Day, Nupi wrote this wonderful report about RGI. “It is so good to have girls back on campus. During the last year or so we tried our level best to make them happy and to impart knowledge to the fullest to them. Even though they may...
MATCHMAKER
MATCHMAKER, MATCHMAKER, MAKE ME A MATCH …….” One of the reasons for the establishment of RGI eleven years ago was the hope that what this story is about might happen . . . Christian marriages. Nupi wrote a precious story of “MATCHMAKING.” “I am happy to inform you...
