I recently came across the following blog entry by a Christian worker in South Asia, Lucy Chilton (not her real name). She describes her use of henna/mehindi designs inspired by the Bible while giving job training to local women at a beauty salon school and sewing center. If you are a lady who is interested in this art form, and wonder how it could be used to communicate the Gospel in South Asia or anywhere in North Africa or the Middle East, I suggest you read on. For the rest of you, please read on anyway and rejoice that God is using cultural art forms to draw his children to Himself!
You can also check out my earlier post on the use of some of these same henna/mehindi designs by another missionary here.
Here is Lucy's post:
