Alliance Girls

On Fire for Missions  

Chicken Tikka Marsala, Lamb Curry, Rice, Flatbread, Chai Tea, and Biscuits are just some of what was on tonight’s supper menu.  Did you know that if you are female in India , you have to wait until the men have eaten their fill of food?  And how about eating without forks, knives or spoons? -- and by the way, you only eat with your RIGHT hand!  

This is the experience that 15-18 young girls came into tonight at their monthly Alliance Girls meeting, here in Lexington , KY.   The meeting begins at 6pm and goes until 8pm, on Friday nights, once a month.  Their goal is to learn about other countries, and to learn how to relate to people with different cultural backgrounds.  

A couple of the moms were wrapped up in saris. This was to show the girls how to take one piece of material and make a dress with it.  Following the demonstration, the girls were invited to engage in a relay race.  Each one dressed up in a sari…got her picture taken…then, QUICK, took the sari off and dressed up the next girl.   First team that had all their pictures taken, wins!  

Dorothy Thomas, our speaker, told us that there are over a 1000 languages in India .  And so, you can imagine how hard it is for people to communicate with each other.  Yet still, there are a lot of cross cultural ministries going on in India .  Pray for many growing churches in India .  And, especially pray for the missionaries as they work with the Hindu and Muslim people in India .
