We are currently planning our next visits to BGCH for December 27th-January 7th, 2012 and January 8th-18th, 2012. Typically, the trips are scheduled to last ten days. The trip should cost approximately $2,300 per person which includes air fare, food, and lodging for the entire trip. If you think you are interested in going we would love to hear from you. The first thing you need to do is make sure you have a current passport and we can work on the other details with you after that.

These trips always exceed our expectations and we all experience a life change that is hard to explain. Let us know if you want more information.

Many have asked and have patiently waited and we are so thankful to finally be able to say it is here.

On August 13th we celebrated all of our children who had birthdays in the month of August. It was our first big birthday party of this new school year. The birthday children received new shoes and clothing. After the singing of songs and giving of gifts, we all had a wonderful dinner and ate until our stomachs wouldn't hold another bite!

Thanks to all of you who contribute to the birthday fund. Birthday parties are special for each of the children here and are talked about for days and days. We celebrate the life that God has given these children and thank Him for bringing them into our family. Their lives are truly worth celebrating!

When children finish high school at tenth grade they, like any high school graduate, have choices to make. They must decide what path to take next. Over the past one hundred years, boys and girls from BGCH have chosen all different paths to take. Some choose the path of higher education and go one to become doctors, nurses and teachers. Some choose to find work immediately after graduation. Most at some point get married and have families of their own.

On March 19th we celebrated three of our girls who completed their education at Maharshtra Bible College. We are so proud of them for working hard and persevering throughout their education! Their lives and their desire to follow the Son in His work are one of the best things to celebrate. Please pray for these girls as they seek our Father's will for the next step in their lives. Pray that He would provide good husbands for them and that He will show them where He wants them to minister. Congratulations to Swati, Pragatti and Jayshree for earning your Diploma in Theology!
