Ujwal Garde

Ujwal Garde

As many of you have heard, one of our Indian Partners, and a very good friend of ours, Ujwal Garde has had a paralytic stroke. He is in critical condition in a hospital about 6 hours from Pune. We don't have many details yet, but his vitals seem to be stable, though he is unable to communicate.
Dave and Ujwal became really good friends while we were living in India. They became even closer while he was here in the US training.We really enjoyed spending time with him here in North Carolina. I even cooked my first Indian Vegetarian meal for Ujwal.  He was very kind and told me it was good but I am sure he was very anxious to get home to Radha's cooking!



Dave and I had a chance to meet and spend some time with Ujwal and his family while in India. He has a beautiful wife, Radha and 2 young sons, Shubham and Ashutosh.  

There was a moment of prayer for Ujwal yesterday at 11am in India. That was 1:30am for us here in the US, on the east coast. They are a wonderful family going through such a heartbreaking time.  Please take some time today and in the coming weeks to pray for Ujwal and his family.
