Janice and I will be spending much of our time in India visiting a Dalit Education Center in Gujarat State. The word Dalit is defined on the website Wikipedia as a self-designation for a group or groups of people regarded as lower class and unsuitable for making personal relationships. You may have heard the term "untouchable" For more information please visit:
Wikipedia's entry on the word Dalit
As we have been learning more about the realities of the caste system in India we have been compelled to share the love of Jesus with the marginalized people of India. We pray that we can help the readers of this blog to be more informed and join us in prayer and take steps of action to help combat this injustice. Please stay tuned our trip begins in just over a week.
