One of the great joys for me this past year was to visit and preach again at the “Church of The New Directions,” in Chennai, India.  Many of our ND Alumni and Board Members gave to help build this beautiful church for our 25th Anniversary a number of years ago.  This time I had the privilege of baptizing a number of new believers after the worship service—including the pastor’s son!  We also did major Tsunami relief distribution from this church in 2004 after that horrific disaster.  Since its dedication, the church has gone on to plant several other daughter churches and support a number of full time evangelists working among the unreached tribes in India.  And it all started in Alamance country with the “Y-Teen Caravan” in 1969!
