A Gold and Red Salwar Kameez- A journey to South Asia

Sabrina Grey is my friend from the dance team at 12Stone. She is an incredible woman with a love for Indian clothes, I discovered this when we did Jai Ho at church last year, and she offered us girls her wardrobe to dance in.

So about a month before we left for India I sheepishly facebook messaged Sabrina to see if she might let me borrow some to wear in India. So because she is wonderful and generous she gave me 6 whole outfits to take and wear, and on my first Sunday morning in India I put on her beautiful Red and Gold Salwar Kameez.

On Sunday morning we quickly planned a creation skit and rehearsed it for 10 minutes, AND it was awesome and the kids at church that morning loved it. We worshipped in English, Kannada and Hawaiian at church. Hehe…

The church had a party for all the Dads afterwards, and served an Indian feast for everyone. After we ate, we hopped in the car to go to the youth camp that we were leading in Hindustan that afternoon.

The Youth Camp was for kids 14 and up, and I think there were some older people there too. Brent did the same trick that had amazed the kids the day before, and some guys at the trick duplicated it 2 or 3 times! We were utterly amazed.

We did the everything skit (you can type “lifehouse everything skit” in youtube if you don’t know what it is). Brent, of course, was Jesus. Grace was the girl. Brock was the Money Guy, Rebecca was the drunk girl, Carlie was vanity, and I represented fear and oppression. It turned out to be very effective. They loved it and shouted for joy when Jesus broke through and saved Grace.

7 girls (I think Hindu Girls…) received Christ this day when Brent shared the Gospel. So wonderful!!!!

We went to bed that night so appreciative of the day, full of praise towards God, and excited for the next morning because we were headed to a tree house in the jungle the next morning as the team’s well deserved break.

The jungle adventures are to follow.
