Rural ramblings..


This evening we took a long journey to get to some tribal villages where the gospel is infrequently heard. Some children however from another village attended who knew some Christian songs came along and really enjoyed singing with our worship pastor Kumar. We loved the way the children responded to praying.


These places are different to the rural villages as things seem more primitive and definitely more remote, open fires, deep wells and stone or brick buildings to cope with the lower temperatures.  




Many work in the tea & coffee plantations on the slopes around. Despite some chaos at times (various interruptions from the enemy) 9 adults made a decision to accept Jesus which was a wonderful close to the evening. After this we gave out pencils and some toothbrushes and soft toys the pictures of which say it all!


Many people came up afterwards for individual prayer as can be seen, we needed torches to walk back through the forest paths late at night....quite an experience!
