Sundargarh Bible SchoolRev 7:9 (NIV) After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. Want to visit?Praveen is keen for committed Christians to visit. Write to him at:- Pastor Praveen J Moni, PO Box 21, Sundargarh, Orissa, India
770001 You will need to fly to Calcutta and then take the overnight train to Jharsuguda. Conditions there are primitive but there is a small hotel that has western style toilet, it has a fan but no AC (about $7 a night). Best to visit December to March when it is cool, the summers are unbearable. Praveen speaks good English, he can arrange a 'taxi' to take you about or you can ride on his scooter. You will have to finance the visit yourself, including hotel and taxi (~$25/day) as he has no money. If you go to a meeting be prepared to preach. I have visited about 7 times and you will have a great experience, but it is not a holiday. You will get a taste of reaching an 'unreacheable' people group, that will change your life forever, as it did mine. The tribal people are lovely people. I should warn you that there has been some persecution, check out if it is safe from Praveen. Photos from my visit in 2000 Photos of tribal people of Orissa |
