Dr. K. Syam Kumar from our Free Medical Clinic in Rajahmundry , India,
had ah opportunity to visit America in late October and early November. He
initially had been invited to Kentucky to provide a second opinion on a woman
who was ill. From Kentucky, he flew to Brighton, Michigan, where he attended
the Fall Services on October 27-29 and participated in the Foreign Mission
Board meeting held on October 27 and 28 in Brighton.
From Brighton, he flew to Portland, OR with several Board mem bers and stayed
in Battle Ground, Washington, until November 6. While in America, he had the
opportunity to speak at churches in Brighton, Portland, Castle Rock, Vancouver

blessing to have him in our midst.

Helmes, Amy: Thoughts on our Mission Trip to India. Where He Leads 1/2001.
In mid-February, I had the privilege of travelling to India in the company
of four Christian brothers. Our team consisted of my father-in-law, Alvar

the world with only men for companions was an experience in itself, but having
been asked to write an article, I'll try to highlight those experiences more
directly related to the mission work.
