We are fixing the old children’s home, such as Re-doing and strengthening the foundations of the building. Re-building all the walls on the first to the third floor. That means retrofitting pillars by doubling their sizes. We are so excited that we will finally be able to use this building again! This renovation work might take a while before we complete it. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, such as fixing drainage, plastering, plumber work, toilets, showers, etc.

Landslide and flooding around children home continues..!

/in /by

For the last few weeks, it has been raining nonstop. The heavy monsoon rain is causing massive flooding and landslides in different parts of Nepal. Unfortunately, the areas where we live are no exception. Yesterday the wall close to the old children’s home fell. It happened during the daytime, and thank God no one was hurt. Currently, this building is used by our elderly people, and we are currently working on moving them to a secure location. We appreciate your prayers that the rain would stop and for the favor that our neighbors will fix the problem with their wall that collapsed. We are happy that the children are safe and dry in the newest building (except the boys who choose to walk out in the rain here

Monsoon flooding around Mahima children home!

/in /by

As you all know, the summertime is also monsoon time in Nepal, and for several years we have been struggling with flooding around the children’s home building. This is because all of our neighbors have elevated their properties to 20-30feet more than the original properties. This makes all the rainwater drain to our property because we are on the bottom before it goes out to the main road. Please be praying for the neighbours and the fund to fix the drainage situation.
Here is a short video where you can see the amount of water flooding through the garden and property and also through the first floor of the building

Hosting our frinend Mark !

As the country opens, We can have our families and friends visit us. This month, We have hosted my longtime friend Mark Spitsbergen. We had our first meetings together in 2006 and have been ministering together in Nepal since then. This time he ministered in two of our local fellowships in Kathmandu. After the sessions, we traveled together with some of our leaders to Dhading Ganga Jumuna village municipality and did a two-day leadership meeting for pastors and leaders. It was so beautiful to see so many receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost and speak in unknown tongues. Pastor Mark preached for two full days, and I translated both days. In addition, a handful of older kids who grew up at Mahima Children Home also came with us Fule is one of these kids. He also joined the meetings and is actively serving God in his local village. Ram joined us for two days. He, too, has grown up in the children’s home and now works in for the government of Nepal.

Leadership seminar in Dolakha

/in /by

It was beautiful to have a pastors and leaders seminar in Dolakha. It was time for encouraging and empowering. It was a blessing to see brother Jagat also join us. One of our Bible School 2007 graduates, Jagat Thami, has started two churches in this area. When we began the work in this area in 2006, at that time, there were very few believers, but now there are several churches in this area. What an honor to work with these excellent leaders and continue to see His kingdom grow. This district also borders Tibet; Our primary focus is to reach out with the gospel to the Tibetan people group.
