Our missions theme for the past two weeks sported a globe on stage, but there was a slight issue that did bug a few people. The world spun backwards. I have a short, poorly lit video of it here: The Backwards World (200KB), but you can see the globe itself on the site of the company we rented it from: Mugwump Productions.
Something I did want to share is a video shown during the service concerning one of the Missions supported through Christ’s Church.
Ashram means “Refuge” in Hindi, and while there is a connection with Hinduism as the term “Sanctuary” has in Christianity, I see a productive connection with this ministry.
A few years ago our minister traveled out to India to meet with Mid India Christian Mission, a group that we have been supporting for a very long time, and a plan was set into motion to create a self sustaining community to help and reach the lowest people in the area. Hinduism has not been known for charity. The belief that people deserve their current state whether due to something they have done in this life or in a previous life keeps people from helping those who need it the most.
The project is pretty well laid out in this video. It has received blessing after blessing as our project even became a link between the University of Florida and the University of Bangalore.
As a note, the three albino children shown in the video had dyed their hair red. So, before you wondered how that happened I thought I would explain.
