The team is in the air between Abu Dhabi and Chicago. They were delayed about 2 hours leaving Chennai, India. Fortunately they had a two hour layover in Abu Dhabi and Etithad Airlines held the flight. Their flight from Abu Dhabi to Chicago is 14 plus hours. They should be on time arriving into Chicago and then for their arrival around 7:30pm tonight in Kansas City. The team must get their bags and clear customs in Chicago. Fortunately the process is fairly easy, although sometimes busy.
Keep them in your prayers as they work up enough energy to make the last bit of the journey. In a nutshell, the teams leaves India at 6:30am on Thursday, January 10 and arrives home to KCI at 7:30pm on the same day.......30+ hours of travel later. Having an extra 12 hours in a day is tough on the body. (they are flying American Airlines from Chicago, (AA 4041)
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.
