I have been in Africa for
three months now and I am packing up and leaving for India.
There are so many
times I felt at home in Africa. Like when 70% of the church service was dancing
and singing, or when the kids would fearlessly run out of their huts to jump
into my arms, or when after prayer the women of the village would give their
village shout which sounded like this YEYEYEYEYE!
It is hard not to leave a
little bit of my heart here in Africa.
I have more Africa blogs that
I want to share with you but I haven’t been able to post them because of the
sketchy internet, but they are on the way.
So on to India! Our
assignment is to go to Bangalore India. We will be working with college students leading Bible studies on
campus and will also be spending time in the slums of Bangalore.
India’s national religion is
Hinduism and it is still a very closed country. Bangalore is considered the
Bible belt of India, 26% of Bangalore are Christians where outside Bangalore it is only
1% Christian. I feel honored to partner with the Indian church and to see them
follow God in a land where it is unpopular and even dangerous to be a faithful
Christian.
Thank you for your prayers and I believe the Holy Spirit unites us across oceans and deserts and nothing can separate us from the love of God.
