I took this picture recently as my wife and I walked through some temple grounds. There were “prayer wheels” as well as this statue with a mask on (pictured above). Quickly thinking about what this would imply, I realized that the mask implies this god can either 1) get sick itself or 2) get me sick. Moments like these are solemn reminders that idolatry is still real here.
We were able to pay to have signs put up on strategic telephone poles near our first church location. While we realize that no single thing in and of itself might make a difference, we are trying different things to raise awareness near the first location. Please continue to pray with us as we look forward to starting in a second location this coming Sunday!
