Ashram classroom, Varanasi


One highlight from the Darshan trip, was meeting with Hindu friends of our teachers. This photo shows the classroom of the ashram where we studied each day. The afternoon this was taken, we were listening to a woman's story of moving towards faith in Jesus. Her mother was also present and shared her perspective on her daughters new life... jumping in at one point to answer a question for her (about whether her marriage had been affected by her decision to follow Christ), "oh, yes... they used to fight, she would come to my house upset at her husband...", etc. The couple has daily devotional times in the morning... they are both followers of Jesus. I wish I could capture the radiant joy this woman expressed while talking about Jesus.
