There was an annual women's convention on campus yesterday. The seminary pays for transportation and lodging costs for any who want to come.
They were expecting 350...but 500 showed up from up to an hour away. Many of them were dressed in their finest. It was beautiful to see!
Most are from villages where OMS has church plants. Some of the women were Hindi. They covered spiritual topics, but toward the end, they covered early marriage and sexual/physical abuse. Some of the girls in parts of India are married off at age 6 or 7. It is known that women/girls in general can be mistreated in India more frequently than America with early marriage, trafficking and general abuse. As I see Andrew laying down his life for Morgan and the boys....I am encouraged of the light they will be in India.
