Sheba Called from India

I received a phone call from Christopher Boda and Sheba around 11:00 am Thursday (7th) morning. I wish everyone could have heard the joy and gratefulness that Sheba expressed to me and to EVERYONE for their support. She was laughing, crying, and was just so excited. She said "I can't contain myself, I had to jump up and down." We thank and praise God for all He has done and continues to do. Glory Be To God!
