1^st Retreat 

                                                                         Sons & Daughters

                                                       

  It’s good to be back home and see my family and spend one more Christmas with them. I am also glad that the guys (brothers) are here for Christmas.

     I am in the Sons & Daughter retreat. It’s been so powerfully and amazingly good. It’s good to see Jonathan and Amy after 7 and half years. They have been helping with this retreat. I am really glad that I am part of this vision (Sons & Daughters).

The place that we are staying is amazing and I feel very blessed with prayers, a new laptop, encouragement and “GOOOOOOD FOOOOOD”. Thank you so much for all the people that made this possible, for us to have a good time and be refreshed.

                     10th Year Celebration 

            

        Well today was the last day of our 10th year celebration and we all had a wonderful celebration in our campus. We celebrated for three days and we had people from all around the world. Though i am really tired from the celebration but i can say that God placed visions and opened or more like showed me new doors for my life. This three weeks have been so amazing and again last week i was able to take one more fine art class for the dts students, which went very well and i had a good feed back. God is on the move and my life is very at an adventure mode and i love it.
   

         " Walk on water  " and "Jesus at the center" has been so strong for me and for the base here in lonavala. I really feel i am walking on water and if my eyes are focused on Christ then i will not sink and it has been a key thing for this seasons. I am really grateful to God first then to my family who have been supporting me through their prayers. The last few weeks have  been crazy busy for me and it not that i am over doing any work, more so ,i have been in the role of a staff.
       
        I am also waiting on God for my next step but i feel God wants me to focus on whats going on now. Last week we had school hike and it was awesome, that the students had a great time. I am so sorry i have no pictures with me, but i will be posting them next week.

  This is the only picture that i got on my phone, and i know its a shame for me, not being able to put few pictures. Well the only big thing that is coming around the corner is Our Mini Out Reach and as a team leader i am not able to find a location for my team, so if your reading my blog, i would request you to pray into this situation. Thank you  sons and daughters for your support and i am really blessed to have this project.

    Teaching for the 1st time

 Well it been three weeks through the school and its been an awesome time for me, so far. Three weeks ago we just finished our staff training and we also painted the class room. Painting the class room with my team mates was fun and long but over all we had a good time.

    We had been praying for students We have students coming to Creative dts from all around India and we also have a student from the state,Switzerland,and Romania and so all together ,we have a total of twenty eight students for this season.  I am leading the fine art track for this season and so its been very challenging and at the same time its been  a huge leap in my life. I love the passion that my students carry and they  encourage me a lot too.
and now that they are here,it brings joy into our lives.

          I have a total of five students in fine arts and last week i taught them the basics and history and also testimony through arts but it the days went so fast.

and this week we are learning about holy spirit and the works of the holy spirit.
   
  Testimony
   My mom gave me a sketch book and it was  new and good quality one, that i really wanted. I brought the book to the Creative dts school when i left home, thinking that i would sketch a lot.

Then one day i was asked by my leader to lead the class into Art therapy  and gave me 600 rupees. With 600 rupees i could only buy the paints but i was in need of getting papers for the class to paint on. While i was thinking about it i felt God telling me to use my sketch book for the class to use it. My first thought was 'no' but at a second thought i felt i had to obey. The next day i gave papers, from my sketch book to the class for Art therapy. I didn't tell any one about it and the next day one of the students hand out three sketch book form Italy. I was so amazed and its not a coincidence , i believe its Gods blessing.



  

             With the YWAM base in Lonavala 

             I am so thankful to God for the safe journey from my home to lonavala .I miss my family back at k-home but at the same time i am also excited for what God has for me, here at the base. By the way, right now lonavala is so beautiful and i have really enjoyed God through my quite time. Its been raining for one week and no sign of any sunlight and its hard to dry your cloths and go out of the campus. one of my favorite thing to do is, wake up around 6 in the morning and go out jogging with my friend. Here i am able to get enough quite time, and i am also able to connect with God. 

       

      On Monday and Wednesday we(the base) have a community worship and intersession for one hour and its been amazing to be around with passionate Christians. Most of the time i am working around the base and having meeting with my leader for the upcoming school. Right now i am a member of the base and i will be here for one whole year. From the 15th of this month i will be having staff leader training, and this is for one week and then we prepare for the school. Every friday and monday me and the staff pray for the school and the students that are coming to do the school.

The school starts on 29th of september and that's why me and the staff will be busy in preparation. I am really excited  for the school and i am praying for passionate artist and worshipers.

I am also excited for my brother Muan who is also going to do his Dts here. I am blessed to have him and my friends and i am for sure this year is going to be an awesome year for me, cause God has brought the right people and i have an awesome  environment .

My last 9 months and this next season.....

         I have been in Ywam for the last few months and there i did my  Creative D.T.S course.

      In my course they offered me various tracks, such as music,dance,photography...

pottery 

and fine arts , and so i joined the fine arts track. Here i learned to be positive and also allow God be the artist in me. I personally have learned so much during my outreach to Nepal and sikkim(northeast india)

 my final project in fine arts

     In nepal i was in kathmandu  and there me and my team did open air(street ministry),house visiting,church ministry,children ministry,youth ministry,..... Then finally we went to Dhangadhi,
(my village)and i got to see my mom and sister, and many of my relatives. At my village we were limited in doing ministry by the village people. We saw only 20 people being saved in two weeks We were challenged in many ways, health issues, the climate, spiritually drained out..... but in the end, God moved and we were able to do ministry in sikkim. 

    so now i am in kirubai home, getting refreshed and being prepared for staffing in the creative D.T.S. .I will be going to north india on september and i will also be leading the fine art track. Later in november i will be getting ready to take my track members to other part of india to do ministry through Art.
