Pastor Sam & Family…

Aside from the Justice Team (which is working in Ranipet with Pastor Nermil) and the Construction Team (which is sleeping in tents in a remote village outside of the town of Kalavai), most of the rest of us are staying with another of our Super-Pastors named Sam. For those of us who have had the privilege to come to India often over the past 6 plus years, Pastor Sam and his entire family have been staples and pillars of strength for the church planting movement in Tamilnadu. In addition, they graciously offered to host us in their home, and have treated us like royalty throughout our time here. Shown here in this picture are Pastor Sam (tall guy in the middle), his wife Jayanthi (yellow sari to the left), their two daughters Rosie (left of Jayanthi) and Suganya (right of Sam), and their son Sarat (right of Suganya). Also pictured, of course, are Raj, and one of our other Life Mission staff.

You’ll notice that Pastor Sam is wearing Life Mission Department “colors” (i.e. a solid black T-shirt), so… you know… we’re tight.
