Sometimes technology fails- actually many times and that was the case during our trip back to Nepal. Several times I tried to post new updates on the site but for almost a month there were problems. No worries, everything is up and running now!
Our trip back to Nepal was a great success. God opened huge doors for new ministry and just as many opportunities to follow up on continuing work. Our team of eight college students was the best short-term team we have ever had. They were sensitive to the culture, tough as nails, and did more than we ever asked in service. We were able to spend six days in the mountains carrying in Bibles and literature, prayer walking, and taught a survey through the life of Christ for a conference containing seven different churches from this area. After our crazy hard mountain trip we traveled back to Kathmandu and ministered among Tibetans. For many, this was a life changing experience. We spend hours upon hours in prayer, sat with Buddhist monks and talked about the deep questions of life, and drank more cups of tea than anybody ever should.
Thank you for all your prayers. And to our team- thank you for giving of yourselves, your time, and your heart. We miss you already.
Right now Sarah and I are at our company’s office doing training. Pray for us as we talk to the leadership about changing our ministry focus from the Nepali people to Tibetans. It’s a new direction but one God has been pointing us to from day one.
