Tribal outreeaach India
If you are interested is seeing a typical remote area outreach program in India please click on the photo. This is our oldest bible college student and he also serves as tribal outreach director
You cannot effectively love and minister to others when you are obsessed with protecting
and preserving yourself.
and preserving yourself.
Is the electricity there provided by a generator or is it from one of the public utility poles? The scarce lighting and exposed wiring was something that I noticed. LOL
The flash did great as far as showing the people and worked great...
and one of the things that kinda looked strange (to me at least) was the way that when they were outside they sat lined up...only a couple wide.
The meal (rice and beans...rather ordinary and customary) seemed to make everyone really happy...and they looked like they had a great time.
Seemed to be a lot of women versus men...the women taking the center of the picture while the men stood on the side...OK...kinda odd...but whatever.
The vehicles? Man oh man...hard to believe that they are using them things...a souped up tricycle...of sorts or a stripped down car to three wheels...however you want to look at it.

I want to die like Grandpa, quietly and in his sleep; not like the passengers in his car, they were all panicking and screaming.

In some of the city areas there is no problem with electricty, excemp what is referred to as frequent "Brown Outs" this is when the demand is to great for the grids and the electricity is curtained. In the photo where they were sitting in a long line, the lighting was from a lanturn hund on a pole.
The purpose of them sitting two abrest was that they were sitting ona path. Snakes ( cobras especially are a great problem. So if it is not a large clearing, then a path will do.
Yes, you will see many more women than men. Because of the stigma of becoming a christian, converting from Hinduism, one become the lowest class. This means that you become an outcast, many will no longer do business with you. So it becomes a greater barrier for men than women. Also women are already seen in a lower class, so it does not seem as difficult for them to convert.
The food is very important it mostly is rice with curry and curd ( sour milk) sometmes if funds are available a little chicken. Red meat is still very rarely used even among christians. Possible a little fish or in rare occasions Goat.
Thank for taking the time to view the slides
