| | After two weeks of traveling though India (and 11 cities visited) I’ve had the privilege to meet some amazing people who demonstrate God’s Love to others as easily as you and I demonstrate our ability to dial a phone!
But so I am not being completely selfish, I want to introduce you to one of my new friends today.
Oh, yeah… because there is widespread persecution in India, I won’t be sharing a lot of details. Just enough so that you’ll recognize this brother and sister when we reach eternity together!
E. C. and his wife have been reaching out as Pastor’s and evangelists for many years now. They have a wonderful ministry that has grown in the past year to include a school especially for extremely poor and needy children. One of these girls that has come to the school is seven year old Alka.
Alka is from a tribal group known as the Oraon. In the jungles of India, tribal groups are still very poor and are often ostracized from the rest of society. But not by the family of God! E. C. and his wife have been helping Alka (who now calls them Mommy and Daddy) and her family, and are providing her with an education that she may never have had!
By opening up their home and their hearts, they have given her a hope and a future!
And I’m learning to Love out loud!
On a completely different note, it gets HOT here in India! We are only feeling the beginning of the heat, so today I was asking a friend how they handle it in May when it becomes much worse?
His reply? The locals carry whole white onions under their armpits to, and I quote, “absorb the heat.” Should I try this? “It’s OK,” replied Mr. Mario, “but you may have cooked onions by the end of the day!” Ha!
Wait a minute though… freedom from the heat and a tasty snack? I might have to try this, there could be something there!
Hmmm… I’m sure to hear Autumn’s opinion about this one.
Still Climbing!
