We drove to + hiked up Sigiriya today: a mountain plateau-palace fortress in middle of Sri Lanka jungle; lost track of # of stairs - good thing I didn't keep count; strong wind kept wasps away, but their nests hanging off cliff made for neat face!

In the midst of national crisis, the church in Sri Lanka did not shut its doors this morning,but opened its heart + God poured in His love during our Father's Heart seminar in Kandy. Uncertainty/fear may attack this nation, but the church is confident: Jesus is on the throne + no terrorist will move Him!

From Pakistani brickyards to Sri Lankan beach = quite a contrast in 1 day!... but someone has to do it! Putting my feet up for a few days until Prem arrives from Nepal + we join his friend in Kandy... nice place to rest here... quiet, sunny... until the wind came up + the monsoon blew in!

Palm Sunday services spill out into the streets in Pakistan! 
I had such a wonderful time with Pastor Shakeel + his church! 
As Jerusalem received Christ publicly, so receiving Christ into our hearts + cities is not a private affair, 
but as these believers boldly + openly declare their faith, the Lord stands with them!

I found my match in 1 of the brickyards: he's been making bricks from sunrise to sunset, 7 days a week, for 35 long years to pay off a $2000 debt?! In the heat, dust + flies I didn't even manage to finish 1 brick! I don't think I could endure like him: he + his family need freedom from this bondage!

Wednesday night Healing Prayer Service in Lahore: the Word + Spirit are moving in Pakistan!
