Friends from the Field...

We got to the hotel where we would be staying to recoup for a few hours, and were quickly joined by our friends Immanuel (right) and Daniel (left) from The Bible League India (TBL). TBL has been one of our most critical ministry partners since the inception of our ministry in India, and we continue to have a great relationship with them as we continue to engage the field.

Immanuel is the Finance and Administration Director for all of South East Asia (India, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc), and keeps the books and administrative systems in play for all of those environments. Daniel works with Immanuel from an IT point of view, and keeps things running smooth with wireless and wired networks in each of the field environments. They also have matching shirts... and when i asked if i could get one, they looked at me, smiled, and said that they thought that they only had Medium sized ones. I laughed and said that it would probably be a little small. Immauel winked and told me i would probably need an "Extra Medium" at least.

Anyway, i went with them quickly to see our other TBL friends, most of whom are doing an Accounting Software package just a few blocks away, and was delighted to see our friends Francis (Director for Northern India), Zephaniah (Director for Central and South India), and many of our office friends (Pandian, Solomon, Yanashaker, Adam, etc.). They even asked me to address the group briefly before leaving, and i gave them greetings from GCC and all of you back home.
