 Description

Join us for Truthseekers' Footwashing in India Trip

March 5-13, 2011

Not that long ago, it was illegal for a lower-caste person to touch or even allow their shadow to fall upon a 
higher-caste person in India.  While no longer illegal, this rigid physical segregation is still very much in 
force.

Jesus showed us how to overcome barriers like this.  He knelt down and washed the feet of His disciples.  For 
the several years, Truthseekers has modeled the example of Jesus each November and now each spring.  At our 
footwashing rallies, held in lower-caste neighborhoods, we tangibly express God's love as we wash the feet of the 
oppressed and abused.

We will be taking a group of Westerners to India in March to continue the footwashing rallies that have been 
so successful over the last several years and you're invited!
