To the ends of the earth

Friday morning, July 14 - At least it FEELS like the ends of the earth for our Nepal Mission helpers. We have arrived in Dang and Sirkhut after 30+ hours of riding on a bus. It wasn't planned that way, but a previous mudslide on the road made it too dangerous to travel by night, so we had long delays. Our young folks made the best of it, and the older fellows also soldiered on. In the photos, we're talking a walking tour around Mading, the place where the mudslide stopped us.

The shower and bed were a very welcome relief last night! We have the morning to organize and prepare, and will be sharing God's Word early this afternoon with the children of the Dang and also in Sirkhut, where there is a Christian school.


Location: Tulsipur, Nepal

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...

Hattibang, part 2

Image
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!

We left family and friends today on the start of our mission trip to Nepal. Grant and I, with Josh Ohlmann and Heidi Lau, are nearly at the airport. Looking forward to long hikes and ready young hearts to hear the Word of God.
