Had a great day on Tuesday. I taught 3 sessions, with probably 3 more today (Wednesday). In typical Indian church fashion, the men were on one side of the aisle and the women on the opposite side.
The highlight of the day was when some of the women were asked to stand so that they could be recognized for their work in their communities. There are some who conduct evening literacy classes in their cities and villages. They deal mainly with the uneducated laborers who attend twice a week after a long day at work. They then teach them how to read and write and study so that they can have a better future. Then there were others who teach classes for local children in the evenings, the children who don’t go to school. They are educating them so that they also can have a better future. A few others teach sewing classes in the evenings, enabling both men and women to acquire a skill that will open doors of employment. They are truly being lights in their communities.
It’s good to be back here again in India. This is the first conference in the south I have participated in. Thanks for all the prayers! Keep them going!
