Sindhuali fellowship!

/in /by

 Be praying for national missionaries who are located in Sindhuali  south Nepal. Both of them had been working with us for many years in Kathmandu before moving back to South Nepal. A few years back, God spoke to this pastor and His wife about starting a church in his village and they went to pioneer and plant a church in their area. The river Kanki runs through their village and now they have lost the bridge to connect with other villages. They also told me that a lot of people in their village have lost crops and animals such as goats and buffaloes, which is their primary source of livelihood. We are committed to helping them and their village as much as we can. What an awesome opportunity to share the love of God and the gospel.

Be praying for Bhim!

Be praying for Bhim from Sunsari !  I met him many years back in Kathmandu in a local bus. It was really crowded, but somehow, we started talking. He had told God that he would end his life if God did not speak to him or send someone to speak to him that day. It was such a divine appointment! Later he committed his life to serve God and went on to do church planting in his local area. He and his family are safe, but his village and the whole district has been flooded. 13 lives were lost in their neighborhood and their home was under water and has been damaged. The biggest river Saptakoshi runs through this area.
