The last couple of years we have been residing in Sri Lanka. What a privilege and joy it is for us to serve The Master in this beautiful country. The people are open, trustworthy, hospitable, helpful, respectful and many more.
Since coming into this wonderful country we feel being loved by The Salvationist. The senior retired Officers are most supportive to us. One of the retired General Secretary who is in his nineties always remind us that he is praying for us every morning at 5:30!! It is really amazing to learn how people prayed for you and cared for you. This is just such example.
The community way of life is very close to that of the Mizo society. Community supporting one another, how they treat the death and support the bereaved etc. are very similar to that of the Mizo, particularly in the rural areas.
Many find it difficult to believe that we are Indians! They usually assume that we are from the Eastern part of Asia. We have to explain we are an Indian most of the time when people want to get to know us better.
During these two years time we have experience God with us in our ministries. We have seen The Spirit of The Lord at work in many areas. We praised and thank God for His ever presence with us.
Even though away from families and near and dear ones we feel Sri Lanka is very much a home away from home.
