Wow! What a blessing it was for us to be able to visit some dear brothers and sisters in the Niligris mountains...we had such a uniquely beautiful time with this tribe, the Todha people, an ancient tribe. They welcomed us with open arms and we had lovely fellowship with them!
They are so hungry for the love of Jesus and have been through so much persecution. Christ has become their strength and their song! There are some lovely traditions that we were able to experience, such as the way the woman do their hair, they did Christy's hair, which was really fun. They are also very skilled embroiderers as you can see by the shawls here. They also bless people by putting their feet on people's heads.
We felt immediate kinship with the people we met here...we sang and danced, prayed and laughed and wept. We shared traditional food and cocoa tea and lots of hugs...until it was long past time to go and our hearts were moved by our dear new friends. Abba, bless them deeply.
