So far on my trip I had pretty much escaped real hot weather. While I was in Africa I was there mainly in their “winter months” and had avoided the heat you associate with Africa. It is also a pretty dry climate through most of the places I visited (save mozambique). I was pretty happy I had missed the Texas summer. Well it caught up with me in Lucknow. It was pretty hot and really humid. Sleeping on the roof was a must in order to get a breeze. The day we were to leave lucknow they were announcing a decision on a 60 year court case on a piece of land that Hindu’s and Muslims had been fighting over. Our friends were a little concerned about getting across town to the airport. But we left before the decision was released and the town was calm.
In Lucknow, India there is a training center for church planters. Young men come for biblical teaching and church planting training. While there they are also taught skills in agriculture to help them be self-sustaining. The center also has a sewing training center for women. It’s a an awesome program. Women, no matter their religion, can come and be trained in sewing. From this they are able to create income.
