Well, I’ve had one weeks rest at home and now its time to it the road once again. Today I head for Polkara and from there Josh, Hari, and I will be trekking out west for two weeks. We are trekking through villages that have very little contact with civilization or with the Gospel. As we trek we will be giving out Bibles (Nepali and Tibetan), tracts, stories of Jesus, the Jesus Movie, and cassettes with the Gospel on them. As you might imagine, with all this material our pack will be quite heavy so pray that we have strength on the trail. Here are a few other things you can pray for.
1. Josh and I are just getting over a sickness we got in Jhapa. Pray we recover quickly.
2. Pray for the people and villages we will be trekking through. Pray that God opens doors for us to share and that He opens hearts that they might believe.
3. Our plan is to finish our trek in a village called Dunai and there hop on a plane at their small airport. The only problem is that we are hearing from some people the airport is open and from others it is closed. Pray that planes are landing and that we can catch a ride back.
4. There is still a problem with rebels in this area so pray that God gives us a safe passage and that if we meet up with them that we will be able to share the Truth.

Nathan,
You are a great example of what we should all be doing for Christ. Sometimes it is so hard for me to keep my focus on Christ, especially when many things demand my time throughout the week. Reading your blog serves as a reminder to me of how set apart to service I should be. I praise God for your example and thank Him for keeping you close to Him. Continue in the race; God will bless the work being done over there.

P.S.- I don’t like your security thing below the comment sheet, and I KNOW that it doesn’t like me. I always have trouble with it, resulting in my typing my comments at least two times. This will be the third time typing this message, and I hold my breath that it will be the last. Well, here goes…(please work, please work, oh PLEASE work!)

Rejoicing, oh sweet rejoicing!!!!! IT WORKED! ( I needed my mom’s help, of course. I was not brave enough to type the code in myself. Isn’t she sweet:)

Nathan,
I’m praying for you and I’m so thankful for the impact you’ve made on my life. You’ll never be able to understand the way God has used you to teach me so many things. I’ll be speaking to the Mission Prayer Band this week about you and your ministry in Nepal. I pray that God will use that time to put a burden for Nepal in many hearts. Miss you greatly!
Willing to Follow,
Jenni

Nathan, It’s great reading how the ministry is doing in Napal. You’re an amazing young man. I pray for you on rides to school in the mornings. God bless you and protect you while in His service.
