Saved to Serve.

A long awaited visit with Silvia! It was 6 years ago when Erin came to India for 2 months and served with Silvia for Y.W.A.M. (Youth With A Mission).
Sharing American treats (they love our peanut butter & chocolate). We got to taste Indian donuts & chai (our favorite).
A warm welcome from Silvia & her friends. It was a blessing to stay with Silvia and spend a week encouraging one another, praying together, and laughing together!
The Concern & Care staff (plus 1 missing).







The Children's Home in Udgir. The Pastor & his wife house, feed, & educate 16 children.









Silvia with the instructor of the newest Tailoring School.















Women's Tailoring School in Pune, India.


















Silvia with some of the ladies at the Tailoring School. There are about 20 ladies starting through the 6-8 months program to learn basic sewing skills to support their families.










Sunil cooks "Indian egg rolls."

















It was so wonderful to finally see Silvia again in person and meet the staff of Concern & Care. The Lord is blessing them and using them to reach the people of India.
