Oh, lots of people like seeing the Taj Mahal. Here he is:

Come to think of it, I don't see the attraction either.

Thank you much and God Bless you for your prayer for me.

It is without question the most difficult thing I’ve ever done - and the most dangerous. But worth being a vessel for the love of God and brethren here at home who are lifting up those who have no hope and whom are struggling in their faith in a land that persecutes them.

Forty-seven-year-old Hector Rolotti, the owner of Novecento Restaurants in Brickell, Aventura and Key Biscayne remains missing, Thursday. Rolotti and his wife were visiting a city north of New Delhi, India when he was pulled under by a strong current in a river, Monday.

Rolotti, his wife and several friends were on their annual trip to India for a yoga retreat when a member of their group was pulled into the Ganges River by a strong current, Monday. A spokesperson for the Novecento company said, that’s when several men, including Rolotti went into the river to try to help a woman who had been pulled in. They all made it out safely, except for Rolotti.

The incident happened 16 miles east of the city of Rishikesh, in the northern area of the Ganges River. So far, Rolotti has not been found. Crews continue to search in the river and river banks.

Rolotti’s wife is said to be on her way back home to break the news to the couple’s three kids.

Those who know Rolotti are devastated. “He is very personable with us. He’s always here greeting people,” said restaurant patron Ana Jaureguizar. “It’s terrible, the news we are hearing is just horrible.”

The company spokesperson also said it’s Rolotti’s spiritual strength, inner strength and great physical condition that is currently giving hope to his family and friends.

Okay, so for whatever reason he had to visit India, but did he really need to swim in it's rivers? What compells someone to assume a risk like that?

Really, think about it. You live in FLA, own a fairly success restaurant and then what? You are just drawn to go swim in a river like that? Heck, he just as likely could have gone to the cesspool of one of the poorest sections of FLA and saved the air fare.

Amen brother, I’m glad to hear you’re taking the word to them.

Yes. I lived in the slums of Andrha Pradesh in 2012 for half a year, got really sick and have been working to get back there again.

I leave in two weeks, (God willing) with my youngest daughter who is ministering to an orphanage there.

I will head to the delta to serve some brethren and help promote the Gospel.

Short trip this time out - (3 weeks) but the state is in the midst of civil conflict over a split and it’s more dangerous than it was in 2012, 2010 and 2008 when we went.

After 32 postings, many of them jokes, it appears that I'm the first to pray that Mr. Rolotti is found safe or to bless him for saving the woman he may have given his life for........

And I don't even claim to be a christian.......

May God bless you and be with you....

Over the last 25 years I have supported mainly missionaries who go where few people are willing....

Siberia, Sudan, Kenya, China....to name a few...

That’s terrific. It’s sad that most U.S. churches are not interested in foreign missions anymore. Most are focused on a bigger fellowship hall or local outreach to draw more ‘members’ into their churches than to prepare a people to go out and do Matthew 28:19-20.

Like everything else in our society - the people have decided to leave everything up to ‘the professionals’ - even when the leadership proves derelict in their duties.

I witnessed the Cuyahoga River burning back in the 60s.

Cleveland, Ohio.
