@bbcnews most recent article said The outbreak isn't just a crisis for India - it's a crisis for everyone. (it) doesn't respect borders, or nationalities, or age, or sex or religion. As we tackle another crisis, stand with us in prayer for Kolkata and all of India.

Calcutta Mercy President, Bob McGurty visiting patients in the pediatric ward. Have you met Bob yet? Did you know he’s fluent in Bengali?

He is risen. 3 words that forever changed our world.

Think about this for a second. Jesus knew. He goes into that room with His disciples. He knows He is going to be betrayed. He knows it is Judas who will turn against him. He knows that He has been sold out for a handful of silver. Stabbed in the back by one He has poured His life into. Yet, in that room, hours before the death of Jesus, Judas ate too. Jesus fed Judas too. Jesus prayed for Judas too. Jesus washed Judas’ feet too. I struggle to fathom that kind of love. A lo...ve that would feed the mouth that deceived you. A love that would wash the treasonous feet of the traitor. A love that could forgive even the vilest of betrayals. I honestly struggle to comprehend it. And then, suddenly, I realize that I’m Judas. And in that moment, I’m so thankful & altogether overwhelmed that Judas ate too. - Nic Burleson
