A Warm Welcome

Ratnakar Thota, director of Children of the Kingdom in India, was invited to come to South Dakota for a leadership conference in October, so we were able to host him in Seattle for a week before his conference started. It was his first time in the US, and we had a wonderful time introducing him to some of the beautiful people and places here. This quote above about gratitude captures Ratnakar's spirit while he was here, and we are so grateful for the ways that God has woven our stories together to serve in ministry together. 

For those of us who have been to India to visit the Thota family, one of the most amazing gifts that we have received has been their incredible gift of hospitality. We have experienced God's love around the table and in their home in such beautiful ways, and it certainly has made an impression on us through the generosity and love shared. In that same spirit, we were so delighted to invite Ratnakar into our home, family, and community while he was here. Many thanks to those sponsors and friends who helped to extend such a warm welcome for his visit!
