Catching up with some pictures


A few days I was not able to post a picture or two and so the following is a gathering of pictures from the last few days.

During the cultural program it was great to see the abilities of the people of the Cuttack congregation. Here the young girl in white is singing a solo backed up by her father (blue) and another man in the congregation.

A young lady in the congregation studies classical Indian dance. Every time I see her she is better and better in her ability to dance. The beauty of her dance is seen particularly in the words she dances to - it is music that communicates the message of Jesus and his saving grace. The people here are working hard to use cultural forms that are understood by their society to help them communicate the eternal truth of Jesus. It is exciting.

These young ladies are from the SPICE Hostel. They performed some of their traditional tribal dances for us in an impromptu program for visiting guests. We loved their special make-up and so we asked them to pose for us.

People are wonderful the world around.

Blessings.

Hi Ken, Emerson and Don.

Glad to hear about your trip and see some pictures. I am praying for all of you. I pray that God will give you some amazing things to capture on video and use you to touch people, but that you yourselves would also be moved greatly by this experience.
