Hello friends!

Since some of you were asking how we were doing, this is a short update about our first days in India. It is our second week here, so not much is happening yet :)

We were able to find an apartment at a residence for ladies in a Christian community, near a local church. We are very thankful for this place: it is located in a safer part of the city, it is also very clean and affordable. When we moved in it was absolutely empty, but God already blessed us with some things! And even though we’re still sleeping on the floor :) we are very happy to be here!

As most of you know, the desire of our heart is to open a safe house for girls and women involved into sex trafficking. Also, we are dreaming of opening a prayer and worship room right in the red light district. We started our time here with visiting different organizations that are working in the area to establish relationships with those who reach out to sex trafficked women and prostitutes. We pray that the Lord shows us who we could partner with.

Besides that we meet daily with a group of kids that live in slums. None of them go to school, so we come every day to teach them some English and play with them. This is a lot of fun!

Starting next Monday we will be attending Bengali language courses that will last three months. We are looking forward to being able to communicate with locals in their heart language and getting to know their culture. Please continue praying for us: for wisdom, protection, direction, divine appointments and for ability to learn Bengali language.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support!

With love,

Natasha
