Open Doors for Young and Old

I haven't put up photos in a while. These are two from our last trip to India that I particularly like. Young and Old in the first one. The second one was taken inside a hut in a Nepali village in the Himalayas of Northern India. This reminds me what we are supposed to be focusing on.

There is an open door that is emerging for the gospel to penetrate Northern India.  Indigenous Christians are being faithful to carry the message of Christ deep into the mountains, at great peril to themselves. They do not have very much, but whatever they have they use for God's glory. God is at work there in amazing ways.

In this valley, Nepali farmers have come to Christ. From the dirt floor of this mud hut, we heard stories of how God healed the man's daughter and the whole family came to the Lord and was baptized. They are being discipled and are learning to live for Jesus. They have only been Christians for about 6 months, but they are already undergoing persecution from their neighbors who are stealing their seed and trampling their crops. Still, they are being faithful to the Lord.

Here is a picture of this family of new believers. Pray for them tonight. Let's not forget.

Is that two men and a boy and the rest women and girls?

Two men and two boys, I believe. The rest are female, including the baby.

There is one boy standing under the overhang behind a woman. You can barely see him.
