Baptisms and Rickshaws

As I write it is Sunday morning here and we are preparing to go to church for a couple of services at the headquarters of the Foursquare Church of India.  There are three different language services at the church.  It should be a lot of fun.  

The highlight of yesterday was to be a part of the baptisms.  There is a pastor we met with who has monthly baptisms.  It was powerful to hear each testimony of healing and utter transformation. 

Tomorrow we are headed for Northern India.  Thank you for your prayers!!  

Good News for the Divadasi

Met with a pastor yesterday who had just returned from a successful outreach at a village where the annual festival to the goddess Yellama had taken place.  In limited English he described the thousands dreadlocked women who were there who had all been born into sexual slavery.  A church is in the community of this temple and had suffered from persecution in the past while attempting to share the gospel with this group.

A couple weeks ago their message was received as they shared the gospel with hundreds without opposition.  It was a fascinating story and the church was excited by the results they had seen.

Upon further research I discovered more about this mysterious group:

It is a tragic segment of society that is exploited from birth.  Anti-sex trafficking groups are reaching out with rescue efforts to break this vicious cycle.  Pray for the Divadasi of India.
