Adventist Hill

After a flying visit to Ottapalam where we were given an awesome welcome, we rushed over to Aizawl via Kolkata. While in transit, I could fulfill a long time bucket list desire.  I had the privilege of
visiting the humble abode of a great personality I have admired over the years, Mother Theresa.

Mizoram is beautiful by day and awesome by night.  It’s amazing how houses are built on stilts both in the valleys and mountain slopes utilizing every inch of space.  The function we attended in Aizawl,
the capital city, was graced by her highness, Mrs. Riliani, the first lady of Mizoram, wife of the Chief Minister.  At the ribbon cutting of the neonatal ICU at the SDA Hospital, we were told that if babies
die, it’s because there is not one hospital in all of Mizoram that has a neonatal ventilator.  What a blessing it would be if babies can be saved if they had a neonatal ventilator.  I was able to present
the amount raised in our church for this purpose and the Columbia Union President announced that he will double our contribution and make sure they have one soon.  Incidentally, the Columbia Union also
presented an ambulance to this small little hospital on Adventist Hill.  It is called Adventist Hill because most of the people who live there are Adventists.  They have an 800-member church on this hill with no pastor but taken care by 11 elders.  Wow!  I wish we could model them in the USA.

Shalom, Shalom!
