We just received word from Sister Vicki:
Just a quick note. We spent the morning at GSM HIV care & support center. Our hearts are humbled and stolen by the people we saw. A 3 year old boy and his mother who reside there greeted us as we arrived. They are both HIV positive. Linda & Deb collected the stories and pictures of residents and families. There is much to be done, but there is much going on at the present time. Much more to come!!!
It rained hard this afternoon, so the porch is full of Gypsies! India is full of all kinds of people. We are waiting to go to worship at a nearby village. It maybe very short visit, depending on the rain. We will keep you posted!
Your Sisters in Christ

Isaiah 40:31~
"..but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength
They will soar on wings like eagles
They will run & not grow weary
They will walk & not be faint."
About Good Shepherd Mission - India
- Good Shepherd Mission - WPCC
- In 1978 using their own home school teachers Henry Bahskar and his late wife Viola took in six poor school boys to live with them and created Good Shepherd Mission. The mission now has over 150 boys and girls in two different locations. In addition the mission has grown to include a General Hospital, daily medical clinics and dental services, immunization clinics, a home for seniors, and 15 rural village churches each staffed by an evangelist. All of the healthcare services are provided free of charge to the poorest of the poor of the area. The mission and it’s outreach depend on donations from people like you and me. Thirty dollars a month will sponsor a child, provide a cataract surgery, or support an evangelist. If you feel God tugging at your heart and encouraging you to help, you may make a tax-deductible donation to the Wyatt Park Christian Church, India Fund. The church guarantees that 100 percent of your gift goes directly to Good Shepherd Mission.
