Nagercoil Day 6

This day was filled with learning of the Indian culture. The Spurgeons took us to Kanyakumari or the Cape Comorin, the southern most tip of peninsular India. It is the confluence point of three oceans--the Bay of bengal, the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. Apart from this, it is also a vital Hindu pilgrim center, renowned for its exotic sunrises and sunsets over the horizon.. One of the unique features of Kanyakumari is the multicolored sand found on its beach. This exquisite land is encircled by majestic hills along with swaying coconut tress and paddy fields. There are also a few elevated patches of red cliffs and some free flowing valleys presenting an eye-pleasing scene. There is the memorial to Gandhi where the Hindus can gather to remember his life and achievements for the Indian people.

After leaving Kanyakumari, we headed home to attend our next school ministry in Nagercoil. Upon our arrival at the school, we noticed some of the girls who attend the Charity Home were there. We ministered to the students and teachers as our hearts were touched by the children singing to us of the love of Christ. We drove away pondering on the preciousness of Christ's mercy and grace upon the little children and how He touched our lives through these children.

Afterwards, we traveled to the Charity Home to minister to the girls. Again, we were truly blessed by the reception of our coming and attentiveness of God's message. After our special time with the girls, we traveled back to the Spurgeons for rest and preparation for the next day.

We were beginning to feel the physical weariness of the trip; however, God strengthened our bodies as well as our hearts to stay focus on why we were there.

In Christ Alone,
