I wanted to encourage everyone to continue praying for the victims of the Mumbai bombing the other week. I realize I hadn't said anything about it in my emails or in my earlier blog. To be honest, I wasn't really sure what to say about it.
The carnage and chaos left in the aftermath of this terrorism are difficult to reflect on. Lima - the missionary who took my team and me around the slums of Mumbai for ministry - was actually at one of the bombing locations the day before it all happened. By the grace of God he had left by the time of the bombing the next day.
It also leaves me with a lot to think about considering my team and I had only been out of Mumbai for about a week before this happened. We hadn't been staying to close to the bombing locations, but this event would have without a doubt made travel more intense.
Indian government officials are still desperately looking for intel on the bombings and whatnot, but really they aren't coming up with much. People suspect certain terrorism groups, but a lot of evidence coming forth is really suspicious and much of it has most likely been fabricated by the polic force in a desperate act to appear in control of the situation.
So yeah, please pray for this situation and for safe travels for my team and the missionaries these next 2-ish weeks. Thanks for all the support you've shown me and my team through your prayers. God has done great things through them and I have been SO encouraged :)
