Though no pictures are attached I spoke with Sister Vicki this morning via cell phone. They are all doing very well. They had just returned from a medical camp in a small village by Tiriputi and Vicki was able to help identify 25 people for free surgery at the hospital tomorrow. They have toured several schools and spent time with the children. The medical camps are very busy...much need. They have many stories to share and hope to be able to send pictures and more information tomorrow. "Internet is unreliable" was a direct quote and they spent several hours without "current" for the last few days. They are enjoying their service time with the Good Shepherd staff. We will update, whether we have photos or not!

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.
