Hilltribe Weddings







What a joy it was to attend the wedding of two of our Bible Ministry Students last month (not to each other!). On separate weekends, we drove approximately four hours to different beautiful Karen Hilltribes. We were so warmly greeted. At one village, we were fed a meal before the wedding and after the wedding. All in the Karen language, the ceremony had singing, the Pastor sharing, the vows said etc... During the second wedding, my family was just sitting there watching the bride and groom while the Pastor was sharing, when one of our ZOE staff friend's said, "They just asked your family to come up and give a word of encouragement to the Bride and Groom". Talk about being ready whenever God calls! So the six of us walked up front and said something!! Love it!!
