Pastors Workshop in Kathmandu

Image
Early this morning most of the Mission Helpers left for a final, long bus ride to Bardibas for child evangelism. Grant Drew, Pete Reim, Todd Ohlmann and I stayed for the pastors’ workshop here. Today was my day to present a crash course in Gospel preaching to the pastors. Many of them are badly lacking in pastoral training, and my aim was to give them a “do it yourself” approach for sermon preparation and delivery. Judging from the reports by the breakout groups, each of which worked on a sample sermon text, the men benefitted from the paper, which Raju had graciously translated into Nepalese. The Bardibas travelers had intended to return late tonight, but were delayed enough that they decided to stay over, and will return tomorrow. Pete Reim has tomorrow’s presentation on general Bible study, and the training of teachers for Sunday school. Our flight home leaves Kathmandu Thursday night… whew!

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.
