Chumba

From Selakui we headed back to Dehradun and then up into the mountains again to Chumba to visit Ravi and Usha who have been working with local village communities for the last 15 years and now work in almost 20 villages. Once again we had fantastic views of the Himalayas from their kitchen window.

They were a lovely couple who had faithfully served and supported and prayed for their village communities with few resources for years. We visited several of the village churches and were once again blown away by the hospitality and generosity of people who have very little of their own.

Highlights were an amazing worship service in a mud hut

The second highlight was when Sarah nearly started a riot when she directed a performance of the Good Samaritan - the robbers/ thugs were very enthusiastic!

Returning from Chumba was a long slow uneventful 13 hour journey by jeep and then train back to Delhi. Travelling in India is certainly a lot easier than 30 years ago with air conditioned coaches and quite reasonable food served at regular intervals. Sadly there's only one week left in India, but we've loved every minute of it.
