The Village Church

It's been a while since we've posted to this blog, and so much has happened. Most of the posts about the India trip went to our Facebook page. If you want to catch up with the events between our efforts to gather shoes and today, take a look there.

One of the most memorable days in India was spent in the area around the village of Daburuvaripalli, near Kadiri in southern Andhra Pradesh. Our plan was to tour the area and finish the day with a village meeting where we would visit homes, preach, pray and distribute blankets to the elders. (The blankets were purchased with the money donated to us by all of you - thanks again!) After a delicious breakfast of idlidosa and spicy peanut chutney, we set out into the countryside in a borrowed church van.  The landscape is beautiful, full of peanut fields, banana trees and granite hills.
