Our team was us 5 interns, Rebecca Grant and two other full time missionaries- Hiroku and Liz. Hiroku lives in Delhi and she does red light district ministry. She goes in the brothels and talks to the women, listens to them and spreads the gospel. She is from Japan and has been in Delhi for 10 years. She is married and has three beautiful children. Liz lives in Mussoorie with her Husband and two children. Mussoorie is in the mountains in North India. That is where we will be doing next week's ministry. Her Husband is a pastor and he goes into the villages and finds people who have NEVER heard of the gospel or Jesus and he will go into those villages and try to tell them about Jesus. They also help with a Girl's home in that city. The girls and boys home is AG affiliated and they have similar backgrounds to the Project Rescue girls and BTC boys. The home in Mussoorie was started about 12 years ago by a missionary who was in that city and one village family had given them their son, saying they didnt want him. So they started up a home for boys, and people would leave their sons there for different reasons. Finally one day, a father came to them and said here are my twin daughters, if you do not take them I am going to sell them tomorrow, so that was when they started a Girls Home. The boys home has about 50 Boys now and the Girls home has only 6 girls.
We came to the Jubilee homes and started the first day of camp. All the girls were so beautiful and so friendly. They were so excited and happy to start the camp this week. We had worship and it was such an amazing time. They sang mostly Hindi worship songs and it was so beautiful. The girls at these homes are from the age 5-23.
The sessions were separated and we had Art for older girls and younger, Drama and Dance. The morning session I helped Brooke with her dance to the song Beautiful. It was a lyrical dance and it the girls were picking up the steps really fast.
After lunch I played an indian game - its like pool but with your fingers and the pieces are really small. I forgot the name of it, but I was really bad at it =). They had a swing set outside so I sat on the swings with a girl named Afrin and she was singing me Hindi Worship songs it was a lot of fun. The girls then taught me my favorite Hindi worship song called Ho Teri Stuti. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it =D
Hiroku lead the evening devotional and she talked about how she had brokenness that she had never dealt with and just left alone for years. God had given her the image of a broken vase and she was trying to hold it together in her hands. God had told her to let go of it, and so when she had let it go it shattered completely and God said that is your life. It is broken- you need to face the brokenness before you can be healed and fixed by ME. She asked everyone, what brokenness did we all have in our lives, what are we still harboring because those things will surface up again. It was an awesome time with the Lord.
