Karen, I enjoyed your article on the little flock ministry to India's children. I live and work in Sri lanka doing leadership training in Christian and corporate circles. Re getting the permit to build the hall for the children, govt. officials in this part of the world expect some money "for their effort" to get the permit done. My opinion is give them some money, get the permit and get on with the project. If we wait, we can wait forever. When are we going to move on with our work? I realise that ohers may differ with me on this matter, Best wishes on your ministry in the bay area. Ron
