Early Sunday morning, February 7th, I departed Kuwait City for Dubai on FlyDubai Airways.  Thankfully this FlyDubai flight landed safely.  Unfortunately I was not able to make contact with our member living in Dubai on Sunday evening.  The following morning I traveled by car from Dubai to Abu Dhabi.  Monday evening I spent with our member in Abu Dhabi, Jacob George Paul.  Paul is a computer programmer and works for the Nissan dealership in Abu Dhabi.  Paul is our only member in Abu Dhabi.  Each Sabbath he watches one of our sermon videos on the web.  Even though Paul has been baptized for several years, he has only met two members of COGWA, Jim Franks and myself.

Tuesday afternoon, February 9th I flew to New Delhi and arrived at 7:20 PM.  The following morning I traveled by car to Moradabad for a Bible study with our members living there.  Moradabad is predominately Muslim and our members are surrounded by Muslims.  They operate an English language school called St. Peter Jr. High School.  On occasion they feel threatened living in their environment.  Your prayers for their safety would be much appreciated.  Thursday I traveled back to Delhi and flew to Hyderabad Friday afternoon.  I spent a very enjoyable Sabbath with Arjumand and Nargis Ali.  Arjumand and Nargis are long time members of the church.  Nargis is dealing with some health issues and both ladies would really appreciate your prayers.  Nargis was not able to attend the FOT last year due to a wound on her leg not healing properly.  She is very determined to attend the FOT this year in Sri Lanka.  Sunday morning, February 14th I departed Hyderabad for Kolkata.  I spent Sunday afternoon and Monday with our member Tarun Ghosh.  Tarun is a school teacher.  His wife, Seema is slowly recovering from a cancer operation and a stroke.  Seema was baptized this past year during the FOT.  Their daughter Priscilla is doing very well in her classes at the university.  On Monday I enjoyed a lovely lunch at Tarun’s home and was also able to visit with a couple of people interested in the church.  One of the individuals learned about us from his wife who worked at the hotel where we had the FOT last year.  She actually was able to take a couple of hours off work and attended our services. 

Friday morning I left India for Singapore.
