Missionary Work
As there was no church or worship place the Kerala missionaries would meet at the House of Praise for worship on Sunday along with Miss Bagshaw and the children of the orphanage. Joseph and family shifted to a different part of the town when another convenient house was obtained for rent. This helped the team get acquainted with many more people. When their children were admitted to local Kannada medium schools more bridges were built between the workers and the local people.
