The team arrived in Peddapalli on Saturday. They were at different locations for the Sunday services. After the services they split up to go to the New Life Center in Peddapalli (Steve Evers, Tony Evangelisti and Duane and Sandy Oplinger) and the other team members went to Haven of Hope in Mancherial (Steve and Nancy Haig, Jon Ostrus and Esther Macklin). The team has been teaching SALT to 39 people at the New Life Center and Duane Oplinger has taught Crown Financial as well. Nancy Haig and Esther have been doing medical ministry at Haven of Hope and will do a woman's health screening at Peddapalli tomorrow.
Everyone is well and in great spirits. Steve Evers spoke at Calvary Gospel Church (our sister church) on Sunday morning. According to Tony they have renamed the church "Short Man Who Prays Too Long." Tomorrow the teams will be trading places, except for Steve Evers who will remain at the New Life Center teaching SALT.
The team wants to thank all of their prayer partners.
