Safely to Istanbul
Hello from Istanbul, Turkey. We gathered in the terminal after our 11 hour flight and had a prayer. We have a 6ish hour layover before our flight to Kathmandu. Most everybody got some good sleep.
As We Leave
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...
