Christian
Aid Mission assists an Indian ministry that is reaching out to the
Mising (also known as Mishing or Miris) tribe in the northeastern state
of Assam. The Brahmaputra River is the lifeblood of the people, who
settled along its banks and raise crops on the fertile plains. They
remain despite destructive floods. The Misings practice a mixture of
Hinduism and their own religion called “Donyi Polo.” They believe they
are descendants of the sun and the moon and worship them. Some are now
converting to Christianity. In the photograph, a group of gospel workers
are traveling across the river to hold a baptismal service in one of
the Mising villages.
