Natalie's wedding


In two day's I will be on my way to Australia to stand as Natalie's Maid of Honour on July 23rd. This is Natalie and her fiance Stewart.

Anandan's wedding


This is Anandan and his Bride. Anandan is my Dad's secretary, he is pukka (100%) Hindu and so this is a typical tamilian Hindu wedding. The jasmine garlands are wet, heavy and cooling in the hot June day, and the basket is full of uncooked rice which symbolises blessing.

My 30 little brothers


Here are some of my 30 little brothers. Mum was the oldest of 5 boys, and her passion has always been for taking care of boys, and so she started up a boys' home over 10 years ago in our home, helping them study, play, eat well, and learn about Jesus. My sister Sharon has been the dorm 'Akka' (big Sister) for these guys. She tells us some hilarious stories of the kinds of things the guys get up too. They are the most amazing people in the world, and if you should visit my parents in Sathyamangalm one day, you will fall desparately in love with these guys too. They play hard, eat monstrous portions, laugh loud, study really well and love action songs.

My wonderful Mum and Dad. I thank God for His hand of mercy on our family for continued restored health and life. If you're sceptical about miracles, you need to hear my Mum's story. No one has loved our family and cared for us in detail as much as Jesus Christ has. I am 'Living an Adventure' and i do dare to dream massive dreams because i believe that His Destiny for us is more empowering and fulfilling than my meagre possibilities. Is your life fulfilling and empowering? I have prayed for you that it will be. Please know that i love you and i pray for you by name, often :-) The Lord Bless you and Keep you abundantly just as He has done my family and i.
