I received the following email late last night.

Dear Brothers,

I have cancelled my program because of Orissa Crises! Please pray for Orissa Believers because they are now under bad situations and many are killed by VHP (Viswa Hindu Parisad), RSS and support of BJP Political Party, This are all fanatical Hindu political Parties. This is going on in Kadaman District of Orissa.

We are in prayer.

In Christ, Dr. Subimal Dutta

It is important to keep money in perspective. Talk about the source of our blessings, and why we give. Show that it’s important to you, and it will become important to them. It’s a habit that must be developed, just like brushing teeth.
