foothills and the wide plains of northern India, Haridwar and Rishikesh sit beside the fast-flowing Ganges River. In Rishikesh, the river tumbles past green hills and suspension bridges; by Haridwar, it begins to spread into the plains. Millions of Hindu pilgrims visit this region to bathe in the Ganges and seek spiritual help. Yet these cities are also full of everyday life. As we learn about this place, we can pray that people searching for hope will have opportunities to encounter Jesus\u2019 love.<\/p>\n      <dl class=\"facts\"><div><dt>Where is it?<\/dt><dd>In Uttarakhand, in Northern India<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Landscape<\/dt><dd>Himalayan foothills, forested hills, river valleys, farms, and plains.

By the time it reaches Haridwar, it leaves the mountains and it journeys across the flat northern plains of India. That is why Rishikesh is known for white-water rafting, while Haridwar is known for broad riverfront steps called ghats.<\/p><\/aside>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"part\" aria-labelledby=\"pray2\">\n  <h2 id=\"pray2\" class=\"parttitle\">Pray, Remember, Respond<\/h2>\n  <div class=\"verse\"><h3>Memory Verse<\/h3><blockquote><p class=\"verse-words\">\u201cHe has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.\u201d<\/p><cite>Isaiah 61:1<\/cite><\/blockquote><p class=\"hint\">What does it mean?
