Christian Community

Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes in Life Together that genuine community is a gift from God. People are too self-centered to achieve mutual sharing and caring without the power of the Holy Spirit.

God has graciously granted the gift of Christian Community to the NIS India Pilgrims. This "life together" is illustrated by St. Paul in I Corinthians 12, Community is to function like a human body. All parts are different (eye, ear, nose). Each part is important. When one part suffers, all suffer. When one part rejoices, all rejoice.

It is the calling of Christian Community to witness to Christ in word and in deed. Indeed, “we’re called to be the Body of Christ and individually members thereof.”

Please keep us in your prayers so that we might prove to be faithful to this Holy Calling throughout our time in India.

Today is Thursday, Jan. 17th. We flew from Delhi to Chennai to the welcoming arms of Dr. John and Esther Prabhakar. In the white bus rented for our visit, we traveled to the mount of St. Thomas for a breathtaking view. We traveled on to Shiloh Evangelistic Mission in Adambakkam, Chennai.
