As We Leave

Image
Yesterday (Wednesday) we completed our work as the pastor-types finished up the second day of the HCLCN Seminar, and the rest of the group returned from their child evangelism, about 5 hours south of Kathmandu. Today was set aside for some touring and shopping before we depart for home tomorrow. The main architectural attractions in the city are the Buddhist and Hindu temples. We saw several, and were immediately struck by the sad blindness of millions who openly worship idols. In a land where a tiny minority of the people are Christian, we feel both blessed and challenged. Blessed to have had the privilege of proclaiming Christ in this place, and challenged to continue the work of witnessing to our Lord Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life. We have established a close bond together as fellow travelers and workers, and we cherish the friendship and fellowship of the Bhitrakoti family and all the people of the HCLCN. It was great to come, and it will be great to be home...

Hattibang, part 2

Hattibang is, of course, inaccessible except on foot. The people there eke out a living by farming rice and corn on the terraced foothills. There is a secular school there... About 20% of the students are Christians, and the rest come from Hindu families. We had the privilege to proclaim the story of God's love in Christ to the whole school. They were all very attentive. We pray for God's powerful Word to do its work in them! The trip out of Hattibang, by a different route, was shorter than the way in, but in some ways harder. We were grateful beyond words to have made the trip and reached its end!

All the churches worship on Saturday, simply because that is the only ‘day off’ in Nepal generally. The service began at 9 – sort of. There was worship music provided by musicians for a half hour while the people filtered in. Pastor JB then introduced us, and led the service. I had the privilege of being the guest speaker, addressing the people from 1 Corinthians 5 – ‘The love of Christ compels us.’ It is the overwhelming love of God in Christ that assures us of forgiveness and life, and moves us to share that Gospel. The message is summed up in four simple words, ’ONE DIED FOR All.' It was a joy to share this time of worship and fellowship with our HCLCN brothers and sisters, including observance of the Lord’s Supper. Near the close of the service the ‘Mission Helper Choir’ sang Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah and ...
