So, incase you haven’t heard, we changed our team name!
Meet Jesus Jewels!
We changed it from Fearlessly Present.
Why? Because like diamonds, we start out as a rock that needs sharpening, buffing, and polishing in order to shine more brightly. We need God’s guidance and love to sharpen us, buff our character, and polish us to be more like him. In doing this, He is able to shine His beautiful light through us and touch others’ lives in ways we cannot fathom.
As Jesus Jewels, We hope to add sparkle and God’s love to lives of others!
“Sparkle Baby!”
Now, for a view into what we did this month!
This was a Ground Breaking Ceremony for adding onto the current church in the village.
We worshipped and praised God for the ceremony!

This was the scenery we woke up to in Hampi every day.
This is All Tribes Cafe, where we worked and slept for month 1.
This is the inside of the cafe. Edie had a vision of how she wanted it to look, and we helped her make her vision a reality.

On our off day, we hiked to the top of Monkey Temple in Anagundi, India. It was rough–600+ steps to the top; however it was worth the work.
This is the Pastor Niranjan and his wife and us in Hospitt, India. Tera gave her testimony. They crowned us with flowers at the end.
We held a “Music Party” at our shop!
25-50 people showed up! We danced, sang, and played instruments!
We went fishing with one of the locals

Glad all is well! Looks like you are having a great time.

There is a song about jewels in a crown for Jesus, and Christians are the jewels that goes with your new name!
Thanks for sharing all this with us. You are blessing the folks you meet there and you are blessing us at home by allowing us to see where you are (have been) and what you’ve done. You definitely are Jesus Jewels, shining in many ways. May God continue to bless you throughout each month, in each new place.
