India 1 Team: Day 8


India 1 Team: Day 8  
     We had the opportunity to visit a Tibetan history museum today. It really opened our eyes to all the strife and hardships that the Tibetans have had to face as a result of the Chinese overtaking their country and, it helped us understand their mindset, especially when it comes to spiritual things.
     In addition, we visited a Buddhist monastery and temple. Practically everywhere we looked we saw prayer wheels, flags, or mantras with hundreds of people trying to earn themselves more merit. It is heartbreaking to see so many lost people, trusting in their own works to "save" them. Praise God for making a way of salvation for us, not dependent our own good deeds, but only through His Son!
     In the evening we got the chance to have dinner with a God-honoring family and another brother in Christ, encouraging them and also being encouraged. It was a blessing and challenge to be able to see how this family is following God in this country and impacting those around them.
