I spoke with Jane, our team leader, this morning and she
gave a great report on the team. They're
really diving into ministry and loving the people of India. They're also full of God's peace that He is
protecting them and are praying the same peace will fill their loved ones back
home. 

Some of you may have read about a bomb that went off Saturday
in a crowded marketplace in the Mehrauli area of New Delhi. We are aware of this and have been in constant communication with Jane
and Jennifer, the leaders of our Real Life team there. The team was nowhere around where the bomb
went off on Saturday and they remain safe under the careful watch of our staff
and ministry host. Their host is taking utmost care of them and even leans on
the side of over protectiveness, which we appreciate. He is a very knowledgeable, respected man in
this community and is very aware of any happenings in the city. The team trusts him and feels safe under his
watch.

Just to offer some perspective on the location of the team,
they're staying in a rural farming community called Dwarka which is located
outside of New Delhi. They do not do ministry in New Delhi and
spend very little time in the city as their entire ministry is outside of New
Delhi.

We're keeping a careful watch on the situation there and are
in frequent communication with the team. At this point we have decided that the team will do everything possible
to avoid New Delhi
to help ensure safety.  

We, as AIM, have full confidence in these leaders, our staff,
and the host relations we've developed in India over the years. They're doing an incredible job leading this
team and monitoring what's going on in the nation around them. We'll continue to keep you posted with the
happenings there and look forward to sharing incredible stories of all that the
Lord is doing in and through this team. 

A side note on communications:

They've found that communication through email is much more difficult than expected. In the area they are staying there are very
few cyber cafes and the internet is very unreliable in the ones they have
found. Thank you for your understanding and patience with this. Please know that the leaders are doing their
best to find ways to communicate effectively with you back home. We will do our
best to assist them in the effort to keep you updated on everything that God is
doing through the team there.
