Saying Good-bye.....for now.

May 22 was a bittersweet day. Our Bible worker and lay pastor Naresh Tudu, his wife Madhu, and their infant son Jesper left Darjeeling on their way to Spicer Memorial College in Pune, India. The "sweet" part is that this is an answer to a prayer that Naresh has been praying for 10 years! At Spicer, Naresh will receive more theology and ministerial training that will be a great help to the church here. We are happy for Naresh and believe this is a good investment in the future of the church. But in the meantime, he and his family are missed terribly. God bless you, Naresh! Hurry back soon!

At their going away party we presented them with a picture of Darjeeling and Mt. Kanchenjunga so that they won't forget us!

Last photo opp before the journey began! Come back soon!
