The Train Station
Rickshaws lined up ready to give rides
Funny sign if you can read it all
Abe on top of the bus we rode everywhere when we were in chennai
Isn't it sweet
The children's home in Chennai
Working on a craft with the kids
That's what it looks like when one person is done
and when many people are done
coming through the door
Katie loves making crafts...can't you tell
Areli dancing...go girl
Katie watching Areli dance
Indian kids here love dancing so much...they would even dance on the bus when we drove places...even the adults do
This kid was the best...he was crazy about dancing and he was really funny
Beautiful girls...Indian kids look the best
Before the bathroom got painted
Me painting...painting here is so frustrating because they added a ton of water to it so it was like painting with water color and it seemed pointless
When it's done...doesn't look much different
Writing what they are thankful to God for
Sweet Trike in India...all their bikes are makeshift and heavy....those wheels and spokes are solid metal
The hut slum we did a lot of ministry with...view of the street
Some kids
We did a lot of prayer and worship and talking at this church in the slum
PD looking dorky...these girls liked him a little too much
Slum at night
The train station at night
One of the YWAM ministries is to teach people how to sew and then run a business with it.
This is a government funded slum house....not very much...they pay 170 rupees a month for 20 years and then they own it...not a good idea because all the slum people live in one big area where there is no way to make any money
Making some packages for the families in the slum (I did rice)
Areli doing sugar
Chili powder
Some oil
The package in total
Distributing the packages in the slum...I look way to serious
Slum at night again
Just outside the slum
Woman with her child in the slum...the baby was so tiny
Slum man
Street in the slum again...you can see the puppy's ribs
Katie's prized picture here of a girl in the slum

Kids swinging across the river behind the slum community...it was so dirty and a really sad situation
Matt giving a talk at the slum community
Train station at night
Abe playing guitar at the train station
Katie and Rrynn learning how to make flower chains...they tie it in knots
There they are learning
According to this guy I am his brother and he pinned a 100 rupee bill on my shirt....the only thing he knew in English was brother and Barack Obama
Drama in the villiage...Abe's face is classic
Some buffalo's crashed our drama and decided to walk right through
Drama
Women of the village giving us their attention (we did 4 open airs at this village)
Katie took this sweet shot
PD and I playing some badminton (no net just a line in the sand)
Puppet show (Paul's face is hilarious)
The true heart of the Indians toward us...they were always welcoming us into their homes and serving us Chai
Doing a little action song with the kids
Katie likes goats a lot for some reason
Doing a little talk in the villiage
India likes colors a little too much...this is a rich Indian apparently
The one star that always shined first at night in India....reminded me that God was always with us
At the beach with the staff...Nicky, Nirmal, Probhu, Vino
Nirmal and Probhu
Sweet boats that they makeshift in India
Favorite shoe company represented on the back of a boat
Fisherman coming in
St. Thomas...apostle of Christ that came to India and was Martyred here
This was the last day/morning in India...we went down to the fish market where the boats bring in all the fish
SHARK! (He tried to bite my leg...just kidding)
HUGE Swordfish....they said he weighed over 160 kilos which is over 340lbs
Massive
Drying out some little fish on the hillside
Thanks Katie for this sweet shot
Vino being a little crazy
This was the last day in India:(
