Violence in Kathmandu

Bloged in Uncategorized by reachingnepal Sunday September 2, 2007

Good evening all. As some of you may have already seen on the news, fresh violence has broken out in Nepal. It has been relatively quiet in Kathmandu the last year or so but this afternoon around 4pm several bombs went off around the valley. One at a bus station, one inside a bus, and rumors of several others. Several have died and many others were injured. We have had bombs go off in the city before but never has anyone targeted people. To be honest I really have no idea what took place. All I know is that today’s events are an indication of the true state of Nepal. My land is lost and in need of Jesus. Please pray for my country and my people. They are so afraid and have no place to turn for hope.

I am safe and so are my teammates and national partners. I was with Sarah getting ready for a Bible study when all of this happened. Tonight I am staying with some friends because it was unsafe to travel across town to my home. Keep your eyes on the news and continue to remember us here.

Here is a link to a Nepali news site reporting on the events.
