“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.
Monday, October 18 we went from Atlanta to Chicago to Abu Daubi to Hyderabad to Vijayawada to Machillpatnam arriving at about 2:30 on Wednesday.
We had most definitely crossed over into a new land.
The pastors and children lined both sides of the road as we walked into the compound.
And the huge 15 x 15 sign, yikes, can you say akward?
I guess they had been waiting for us.
So much for being behind the scenes in my comfort zone.
The name of the town close to the Mighty Shepard Ministires is called Machilipatnam.
It is a town of about 500,000 people in a district called Krishna .
Outside the town, there are many villages and towns fairly close by. There are many farmers and field workers in the local area. The town, Machilipatnam, is in a state called Andrea Pradesh. There are 28 states in India . Andrea Pradesh (A.P.) has 26 districts and a population of about 100 million.
Machilipatnam is about 10 miles inland from the Bay of Bengal.
As in all of India , Hindu is the majority religion there with great amounts of idols and idol worship in that area.
