eport on India<br />

In November 2011, Pastor Victor<br />

Gill and his wife Nettie traveled to<br />

India to train Seventh-day and non-<br />

SDA pastors, conduct evangelistic<br />

series, and help at the Balm of<br />

Gilead orphanage and school.<br />

The 70+ children at the orphanage in the Rajahmundry<br />

Conference loved the Vacation Bible<br />

School Nettie ran for them while Victor ministered<br />

to the pastors in the area. Teaching in the school<br />

was more of a challenge as the schools lack money<br />

to buy adequate books and supplies. The cost to<br />

feed orphans and pay teacher’s salaries is $2500<br />

per month. Major shortage of Adventist teachers<br />

means that children are often exposed to Hindu<br />

beliefs alongside Christian teachings.<br />
