This is from a Christian pastor in his homeland of India. I've known him for several years (he comes to U.S. once a year for church meetings), and he sent me this email about the situation there in India. He's a very dedicated pastor and also has a home for orphaned children (mentioned in the email).

Thought it would be of interest to folks here at FR. I've left the message just as he sent it, so please overlook the typos.

When I was going to church at New Life Church in Woodbury MN, we had this pastor from India that used to come at least once a year and give the sermon to our church. He had such a passion about Jesus and you could really hear it in his voice and see it in his face. I think the Christians from India really do know the real deal. He talked just like this too, it sounds so familiar. We are so lucky in this country. They have so little, and yet sometimes I think they have more.
