Easter is a great time.This year I was back in the States to visit my dad who had been ill.(He is better now.)The special musicals were inspirational.The songs were full of infectious joy. The messages resonated with hope and life.But something was niggling at me in the back of my mind.

I remembered some 20 years ago in India when a young Christian college student asked an Indian tour guide if he had ever heard that Jesus was raised from the dead.He said no.The scene is almost as vivid in my memory today as it was on that day.

Now Pat and I are missionaries in Thailand.I know that the tour guide's answer would be repeated thousands of times were Thais asked that same question.So, I pray that when we return to Thailand in a couple of weeks that our work there will help the Church to get the word out:Christ is risen.He is risen indeed.
