A heart for their Country

I have been blown away by the young believers in the Dhakbari Church . This is the church we have been partnering with for over 16 years!! Their faith is so strong. Their love and desire to not only teach current believers but reach non-believers is incomprehensible in my American mind. For instance, I was chatting with some young men today and asked them about a recent mission trip they went on. They were very humble and I had to gently pull the story out of them. But here it is, 10 of them walked… for 2 weeks… to pray.  Whoa, whoa, whoa, what? These young men walked for 2 weeks, not knowing where they would sleep, get water or get food. They walked with limited supplies, while getting rained on. They walked in remote valleys and the sides of massive mountains where roads are often washed away or covered in landslides. Their purpose was to walk to a very remote village near the Tibetan border that was void of believers, and they would pray. They prayed for a foothold so that they could come back in the future and share the story of Jesus. And I have no doubt that they did this joyfully. I have spent much of my day blown away by this story. These young men are half of my age but I have so much to learn from them and their child like faith. I couldn’t imagine hearing of such a story in the U.S. This church is amazing, these people burn with the desire to share Jesus. It is a blessing to call them my friends.

Gatlang church

The Gatlang church is growing and thriving! You’re so encouraging to see the believers gather on a Wednesday evening to study and hear the word of God!  I had an opportunity to share a word from Matthew 9:37-38 “Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭9:37-38‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/mat.9.37-38.NIV It’s always Awesome when Pastor Raju translates and adds a few extra color words to make a sermon more funny and understandable!!    We commissionedAnd prayed over the Gatlang  church people and challenged many of them ‘Go’ to reach the surrounding villages on the mountain. Shane had a chance to pray deliverance over a man that had been dealing with “evil spirits “. We are believing for his deliverance and healing !

Nessing miracle !

Image
We spent 2 nights in Nessing. The church is being rebuilt, so Pastor Kuni let us camp at his abode. My tent was set up on a cool little plateau and out my front window was the incredible Langtang. I wonder if God was boasting, maybe just a tiny bit, when he blew creation into this part of the world? This place is breathtakingly beautiful. We woke up, had breakfast, worship and fellowship. What a great way to start a day with strong, devoted men breathing life into one another. We step off confident in the fact that the enemy can not harm us and will scatter in our presence. Our first house visit is with a lady who has not walked in over a month. She had some sort of wound on her leg and became very weakened during her period of rest. I prayed and prayed for the woman, but God spoke to me and not her. He said “why are you asking? You have the authority to trample snakes and scorpions, if you want her to walk, have faith and declare it so.” I declared “this woman will stand now and she w...
