Today is Diwali, a festival of lights mainly celebrated by Hindus. During Diwali, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes, perform worship ceremonies of the goddess of prosperity and wealth, light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where sweets and gifts are shared. As I sit at home surrounded by the sound of fireworks tonight in my community, I pray for those in my community to find the one true God. Please pray for boldness and opportunity to reach out.
Tomorrow, we have an outreach opportunity in our community through our local church. We will be handing out homemade chocolates, reading books to children, and playing soccer. We are looking forward to the opportunity to care for others, and to make connections that will give an opportunity to share the Word.
"Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, 'I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.'"
