A special treat at the Taj Banjara

A special treat at the Taj Banjara
Sunday night we arrived at the Taj Banjara hotel in Hyderabad after a long day of travel and ministry to covenant communities in the Warangal area. Early morning we were taken to several local covenant communities. There was a lot of singing, some good testimonies from people who had met with God the last few days we had been together at the Bala Vikasa centre. It was very encouraging to hear those testimonies. God is so good! He is working powerfully among these peoples.
Knut and Elisabeth were taken by Abraham to two different communities. They were given food and a warm welcome. One place more than 200 persons were present. This community has been form by Moses, a former student from Jaipur Covenant School. In less than two years this community has grown to about two hundred people. This time they met in a new rented building which they hope they will be able to buy with the nice plot of land attached to it.
Zephry and David Paul went to be with Prakash and the community he was leading. Solveig and I were taken by Wilson to the covenant community in Narsampet. We all had a wonderful time with the precious covenant people of God.
After a long, dusty and tiring journey we arrived at the Taj Banjara hotel around eight o�clock in the evening. I was so tired and felt so dirty. But a warm shower did a miracle to freshen me up! When we all were ready we went to the Tandoori outdoor restaurant at the lake. This restaurant has been given the price for the most romantic restaurant in India! We went to celebrate the Silver Anniversary of Knut and Elisabeth. The surrounding was perfect for the occasion! The food was delicious! But the company of our good friends is what made the meal such a wonderful time. Friendship is the music of our lives and no treats can ever compare to the sweetness or excitements of friendship!
