DAY 2 (9/8, Thursday)
Visited Savar School (built by GFA) at a nearby slum area and ministered to the teachers and children in the morning. Prayed for, shared and ministered to a few of Ps Newton’s friends at a nearby restaurant. Also dropped by at a gypsy village with almost 20,000 villagers. We prayed for the village’s leader, Ramjan – for his clothing factory, his business and his wellbeing.

DAY 5 (12/8, Sunday)
Rose early and prayed. Continued with our visitations to communities located on a group of “islands” using a boat. Visited house to house, attended Sunday service and prayed for the sick. The pastor hosted us for lunch and we witnessed how the locals catch fish. Many GFA pastors were present. We left some of them at the bus station and proceeded to Dhaka. On the way to Dhaka we were able to see another piece of land in Faridpur district.

DAY 6 (13/8, Monday)
On the last day, Ps Theodore assisted in reviewing GFA Bangladesh’s accounts. Further ministry was planned on this final day but was cancelled as heavy traffic slowed down our movement and consequently increased traveling time. Ps Theodore boarded the plane for his return flight and reached home safely.
