Aradhna

 This has been one super busy week. The majority of it has been consumed with being in the car, driving that well known path to the southern part of the city. You know you live in a big city when it takes over an hour to get from one side of the city to the other. But we are so thankful for our car and the recently opened metro line that gets us back and forth safely.

 During one of our many trips to the south this last week we were able to join with some of our national brothers and sisters for a sweet time of worship. We left our shoes at the door, sat on rugs, breathed in the incense, and enjoyed singing together in a language that used to be so foreign to me. I love this glimpse of what our eternal home will be like someday.

 During the Satsang, truth gathering, I couldn't help but be drawn to watch a 12 year old boy who sat "indian style", with his eyes closed, his hands bowed, singing his heart out to our Father for over 2 hours. No one forced him to sit there. He was truly so reverent and genuine. What a picture of worship!

 Our time was led by Chris Hale from a group known as Aradhna, meaning "adoration" in Hindi. He was in town only for a short while to film the music videos for his upcoming album. We had heard his music before and are looking forward to his new release in December. Chris and the rest of his group have a huge heart for this country and these people. You should check them out on their website or itunes!

"After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb...and they were shouting with a mighty shout, 'Salvation comes from our Father who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!"

Rev. 7:9-10
