Monday was a very long day. The team went to Kolladam to do a short medical camp at a small rural school. After visiting in Kolladam, the team was scheduled to attend a ceremony at a seminary about three hours from the mission. Henry has been honored with an honorary doctorate from that school. Because of some political unrest in the area Henry decided not to and they stopped by a roadside cafe on the way back to the mission. They were supposed to return quite late and though it was not the midnight return time, they were all still quite ready to relax.
From all reports, everyone is doing well. It is Tuesday morning in Puttur right now and Chad made the comment that he does not think the team realizes they have two more full days at the mission before leaving for Chennai on Thursday. That has not sunk in yet....
Pictures tomorrow!!
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.
