Worship and Praise

The best way to start a mission trip is with a day of praise and worship! The team was able to worship with the local congregation, celebrating the Lord's Supper, and praising God with music and dance. Clay shared (with the help of a translator) about God's calling and mission.

Some of the young ladies performed a choreographed dance.

The children also sang and danced ... and Alison handed off her camera and joined in the joyful worship. 

One of the ministries the host church offers is an extensive children's program. One of the outreaches is a daily program for children ages 5 and up from the community (they come from up to 1km away) to come and learn and do activities. All of them are from a Hindu background and the church has seen the fruit of this mission.

Hospitality is incredible in India, and the team was served lunch and dinner on the roof of the church.

 

  

 

 

Tomorrow (actually, very shortly for them), they will start the first day of the eyeglass clinic. Please pray for everything to go well and for open hearts to hear God's love shared from local church members in their own language.
