At the beginning of every December, Christians in India come together with their pastors for a month and go on caroling in their neighborhoods, visiting as many homes as they can. It is not like Christmas in Korea, where snow can be expected at the end of each year but believers in India flock to the church for these caroling trips. In thankfulness to God, praising, and worshipping, they share the gifts and the new year's calendars with those whom they visit. At the homes, the carolers share the love of Our Lord with food and snack they have prepared in advance. Following each caroling trip and spending joyous times in the Lord, the poverty and the torment of disease disappear and their hearts are filled with an earnest hope for heaven.
