Richard & Soso Chamberlain have worked in India for a number of years. Richard is currently teaching at a college where they are looking for more students. Whilst the college was closed Richard went on a youth camp in NE India where he spoke on Sanctification & Social media, and Science and the Bible, as well as other things. Over 100 students attended and all benefited from the trip before the college reopened. We continue to pray for Richard & Soso and the work they do.
