Most of my blogs in the recent past have been about jewelry, the widow's ministry or the utter frustration (cough cough, I mean, bliss) that life in India can bring. While the majority of my life in the last year has revolved around these things, life changes and so has my role here in India. While I am still largely involved in Beauty for Ashes, I wanted to take a minute and introduce you to one of my new projects....Elijah Times.
Elijah Times is a Christian newspaper publication who's aim is to teach, educate, and connect the Christian community in Bangalore, India. I now find myself to be one of the main writers and editors of that paper. While I would have never imagined myself in such a position, I feel as though God has placed a vision and a passion in my heart for this project. There are thousands of churched people in the city; unfortunately, these Christians find themselves heavily influenced by the culture and the Hindu backgrounds from which they come. Bringing truth and freedom to their lives through solid teaching and Biblical perspectives is something that I find myself being truly passionate about. Seeing the hearts of devout people, but knowing that they are unaware of the full inheritance afforded to them as a result of their salvation, is a heartbreaking thing. It is my desire, to see the children of God come into an understanding of what it means to live a radical Christian life filled with the power and strength of the truth of the Gospel. In addition to the articles that are included, we are a platform to keep the Christian community connected and unified. We post events, conferences, concerts, and opportunities for Christians. In a nation largely dominated by the Hindu and Muslim faiths, this is a much needed networking tool. I'm excited to be a part of this new endeavor and I hope that you will partner with the vision and purpose of this paper by praying for our team as we work to make this an influential and life changing publication.
