The adventure at Begumpur Mosque did not get to happen, but all is well. There are many more adventures to come.
Some months back, somewhere around April of this year I met a young girl online named Simerjeet Kaur. She attends the University of Delhi, South Campus and is an Economics major. Sim grew up in the city of Lucknow in northern India. She has one sister named Mini who is set to graduate from high school in the spring of ’09. Her father was killed in a tragic accident back one year ago this past May. He had gifted his daughters the gift of an education so that their lives would be better than what his had been. Something about Sim had struck a chord in my heart. Over the past several months I have been able to share with her the importance of education and studying hard even amongst adversity. It has not been easy for her as she misses her mother and sister a lot.
We met at the local shopping mall called Kannard Place. We had KFC (yes, India has KFC complete with a vegetarian menu)! We talked and shared then went shopping. It was wonderful to have her along with her friend and class mate Parul. We were also joined by my long time friend Ruth and her two friends Sofie and Pretthie. What wonderful girls. Pastor Rajan took us and walked behind us to watch over us as we walked among the streets of Delhi. The girls were awesome in bartering for me on the things I wanted to get. We left, but all too soon. I presented Sim with her very own white bible with her name on it and a small book called “God Made You Wonderful” by Max Lucado.
Sim will be placed in a job soon and I look forward to meeting her again on another adventure here to Delhi. Sofie and Pretthie will stay in touch with her also and help her in whatever way she needs. What an amazing time.
Next stop………….Kathmandu, Nepal
