2012 May June Ministry Report

I do hope that you enjoyed the summer. Every time I think of you I give glory to God. In all my prayers for you, I always pray with joy. I would not have met you if I was lost in my sin. I am thankful to God for choosing me. I believe the Lord has called me to encourage and equip leaders for the work of ministry. We have been spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to serve the Lord in Nepal where the gospel has not been preached openly.
Football team
Our football team played matches in the national qualifying league in May. We were able to impact nation in sport by our prayer and distribution of gospel tracts and sharing the gospel with young people. It is a medium to reach people. We had a very good chance to share the gospel with them while they were as a team. It is not just playing; we share our faith to them. There are many worlds, and sports world is one of them, we must bring gospel to all of them.
Rita's Graduation
I am so glad to see Rita complete her three years Bible College from Jesus College in Kathmandu with B.Th. She has learned so many subject and things about God and the ways of ministry. She can be a good help now after. She needs your prayer and encouragement. She is hospitable. She ministers to the need of the poor and widows. Now she is going beyond this, she is leading the teams to share the gospel. Now we can do more together. Your financial help really help us do the work of the gospel in Nepal.
Program in Makwanpur
Nepal is divided into three major geographical landscapes. Plain, mountains and High Mountain. We were in Terai in some parts in June. Heat really made us very difficult to minister to the disciples. Bishnu was one of our first Bible School students in 2007. He has a new Church today.
Children ministry
We expected only few children in the children ministry for song, sweet, balloons, and game. But in moments there were more than hundred of children in this village and their parents gather around to receive sweets and balloons and see us how we preach the gospel to the Children. We told them Bible stories. Sweat in our body overflowed from all parts but children were very passionate despite the heat. They wanted something. We do not have children gospel materials but we can produce it if we get sponsor. Many Churches in Nepal do not have Children materials.
Clothes distribution
We distributed clothes in June to the needy Children in Pastor Reuben Church. The Bible says give and it shall be given unto you. We are not rich but we can't close our eyes when we see naked. Christian life is sharing life. I personally want to thank all people in home and in abroad who made contribution of clothes for the sake of the poor. Poor people in Nepal are not able to purchase new clothes. Many Pastors in Nepal has resigned because they are feeling pressure to feed their family and provide education. So this little effort of distributing clothes is a real blessing to Christian people in Nepal.
Program in Tatopani
We had good program in Hindi Church in Tatopani. We had a message from the word of God and more then hundreds leaders and believers were gathered there. Dilip Magar and Bigyan Shrestha, whom we support, are doing very good ministry there, leading people to Jesus, sharing the gospel through videos and Medias.
Bible Distribution
We were able to distribute Bibles to needy people. These Bibles are sent by friends oversees many of whom we never have met. Thanks to all who made contribution of Bibles for Nepal.
Home Stay in Nepal
We have started a home stay service in Nepal for Christian guests who are traveling to Kathmandu. They can 'Come and Stay with us' Acts 16:15. Just as 2 King 4:10 we have room, bed, table, chair, lamp stand, and more then that we have Kitchen, sitting room/meeting room, Internet, washing machine and dryer, big groceries store nearby.
I was inspired by this Shunammite woman who offers hospitality to Prophet Elisha. This guest house provides them rest, and Rita is busy cooking for them, like the Shunammite woman. She prepares best food in the world, come and tastes her cooking. I want to put one Laptop in this house so that Pastor can use Internet while they are here. Home Stay service is not for business, it is our desire to bless mission travelers. We want to be a small part in their ministry by providing rest for them. So if you know any one traveling to Nepal, kindly tell them about our home stay.

Upcoming programs and prayers
Bible School 2012
We are called to make disciples. Member and Disciple is very different. Member stay, Disciple goes out. We are disciple who makes other disciples. In the Church, you can't be a proud member, you should be a proud disciple who go out and make disciple. That is what we are doing through your help. We are making disciples who go out and share the gospel and win people to Jesus. We all have call from Jesus Christ to go out and make disciples. We have 6th Bible School starting from August 21 and I 100 % believe that you would pray and share others who would be interested to pray for this Bible School. Together we can make disciple makers.
Conference in Barhabise
Christians in Nepal are hungry for the fresh teaching and fellowship. We are small group of people who emphasis staying together, just workers and Pastors. We have leadership conference in September and we want to request you to please remember us in your prayer.
Students Retreat Program
This Retreat program is for students who were trained in our Bible School. It is important to meet them, hear their report, testimony, need and challenges. We want to be a small part of their ministry by encouraging them.
And finally, there were 8 people gave their life to Jesus in May June. If you want to write something, please go here and write your comment.

Bible School in Nepal/Your prayer needed

Dear Friend

Before I send my monthly report, I want to send this very important request for prayer for Bible School 2012 so that you can share this to other friends around you that are interested to lift this school in prayer.
I believe that the Lord has called me to encourage leaders and to train and equip new leaders for the gospel. The greatest call I received from the Lord is from Mathew 28:19, therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. And to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, Acts 26: 18.

My nation Nepal needs Jesus. In this nation 97% people that are approximately 29 million people do not know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior. Harvest is ready in Nepal, but laborers are few. No one will hear the gospel unless someone sends them. We do a great work together for our God. Nepal does not need many denominations it just needs messenger of the gospel. We can do more together then we can do alone. Today we have more than 16 Churches around Nepal and most of the Churches planted are the result of the preaching of the gospel by the local evangelists who were once in the Bible School.

We are planning to start 6th Bible School in Kathmandu Nepal and we hope to train at least 20 brothers and sisters who would later be in ministry in needed areas. This Bible school will have two phases, first one will be 8 days. We will teach our Pastors and leaders how to take benefit from the computer, email and others. I want to see Pastors serve the Lord in full swing. Then rest of the days we will share with them the word of God. We will Family life, Christian life, Church life, and many other subjects. They need to know all these. I don't know from where to start but I know we should start.
Please consider helping us send more laborers to the harvest field. Help us train more. We admit that we can't do alone. We need you.

2012 April Report Nepal

My Dear Friend 

How are you? I bring you the report of what we are doing in Nepal. Thank you for your prayer and financial support and thank you for being a partner of the gospel in Nepal with us. Thank you for making it possible for us to go around Nepal and do ministry and encourage brothers and sisters in the Lord. 

New Church in Barhabise,I had a privilege to inaugurate the Church in March in Barhabise, north of Kathmandu. They were around 25 disciples and they gather in the house at the bank of the River. Church Boys had the good gospel music team. Pastor is Baburam from Khasa in Tibet. We met Baburam in Tibet and he is very excited in the Lord's work. I have seen the need of Bible School for these Church believers. So our next project would be to train disciples in this church to do the ministry. Name of the Church is El-Elohim Universal Church.  
 
Gospel in Mugu 
Bigyan one of our brothers whom we support made a mission trip to Mugu in far west of Nepal. All means of reaching this unreached place is by walking number of days otherwise flying by plane. This vast land is without gospel and few believers who live there do not have Bibles. In Mugu, 1 US dollar buys 3 eggs and 1kg chicken meat is 15 US dollar. So our next program for this place is to distribute Bibles in Mugu free of Charge. This place is famous for death of little children just because they do not have medicine when they have diarrhea. 

Disciples hungry for the word of God in Tibet borders
In some parts of Nepal, disciple only gather when you provide food and travel allowance. In Tatopani, youth gather intheir expenses but we provided the food. Most evangelist and missionary are willing to serve God in city and town; they are not willing to climb High Mountain even though they can. People live there and want to hear God's word. For some people it is new thing to come to a big gathering. Most people we met, they requested us to visit their village and organize programs. They are hungry to receive the word of God. 

Gospel Cencert in KatariSalman, Pradip, Bikram and other youth organized gospel concert in Katari in Sagarmatha zone in February and in Sitalu in east Nepal in March. Salman and Pradip are our film ministry staff and they are always willing to carry heavy film equipment like power generator, sound box, mixture and suffer for the gospel. They say that we do this not for money but because we love people and we want to share the gospel. 
In Katari, when they were preparing to return, they didn't had any money for a cup of tea and no money for Bus fare. And it was very long way to reach home. So they sold some of their film CDs and made money for bus fare. These boys deserve our consideration. Their labor has brought fruits in everywhere they go. They crossed 30 and they have forgetten to get married. In Nepal usually girl and boy get married before 24 or 25. 

School Building in DungdungeI personally want to thank all who have made a contribution for the building and running of the school in Dungunge in Nepal. We want to give education to poor children who are not able to go to school just because it is very far from their house. There is also big river on their way. 

Program in Kohalpur in west NepalWe made a visit to west Nepal and it was so good to be there. We met some disciples there. People in west Nepal need to hear the gospel. There are only few churches and they do not have Bibles. We would like to strengthen this little church so that it would become a big rock. Many have called us to come to their village and share the gospel with films and others. Beat the Iron when it is hot. Grab the opportunity because door is wide open and we have a Macedonian Call. Harvest is ready for gathering. 


Sleeping in the dust floor in Makwanpur From Kohalpur, we made a night bus trip to Makwanpur and it nearly took us 24 hours in bus and in walk. There were so many types of people in the bus. All the world was in it. There was vomit, some peed from the windows, other slept on the middle, others were still drinking, and some guys uttered horrible words, big loud music. And it was all in the bus. But there is a simple solution to all these problem. Close your eyes and put ear plug. I did that. Next day, after two hour of Bus drive through the river. I am happy to bring a bilster at my back from the bumping. 
We had a good conference. Everyone danced in the loud gospel song. Locals cooked food and put it in Rice Sack I guess there was not a big pot. Never seen that before. Rice was shared with a or two piece of pork meat in the Tapari (food plate made out of tree leaf). All the fat in meat was cooked too. Small to the adult and old, from 12 year old married girl to dumb old, set in line in the open dusty windy field and ate together happily. A girl who was 14 and pregnant at my last visit had a baby. Oh my God, what a progress these people are making. There is still more news. There was no electricity and the bathroom was out in the jungle. At night it was no way out going there. Sukraman told me that his goat was eaten by Tiger four months ago from the lower field. There were no bed, a thin plastic floor and we slept on it. I went to check on how others were sleeping. What on earth is I am seeing this. They were sleeping in the thin rain plastic. I asked them, do you not feel hard and hurt on the muddy floor? And they said, we have been sleeping like this from the child. 

Children without clothes, food and school in MakwanpurChildren in the district of Makwanpur live a desparete need of basic need life clothes, food and education. If we could change our home and village, we can change our society; if we can then change society we will change our nation. There are thousands and millions of children who need our support. We cannot work for all of them. But we can change a life at a time. That is what I believe. I give attention to the need of the Children. We can't give everything to them but we can give something to them. These are some photos but there are many photos in link behind the photo. So please click it. 

An orphan girl in MakwanpurWe found that there is a girl in Makwanpur that we found who do not have father and mother and living in relative house. She is worthy of our consideration atleast for cloths, education and shelter. Anyone who in your circle who wish to sponsors her by providing 25 dollar a month can ask me for more information. 

Youth conference in Tatopani in Nepal Tibet borderAround 200 youth gathered in Youth Conference in Hindi Church in Nepal Tibet border and were blessed with fresh teaching and the worship songs. We also provided them special BBQ treat to the workers at night. We gave away Bibles to the youth. We also heard heart touching testimonies, drama, special songs and skids. Youth were encouraged in their heart.  

Ministry in Gelu Church in RamechapSix event took place in Church in Gelu in our recent visit, Lord supper after one year, Baptism of 84 year old man, testimony of boy who was raised from the death, film show, prayer of demon possessed girl, and salvation of 5 souls.  

We gave Lord Supper after one year. Pastor is not ordained yet so we had to give lord supper. It is not because we don't want to ordain and appoint. We would like Pastor to organize lord supper in their local Church but since leaders are new and not ordain they are unwilling to do this. Some time ago a Christian claimed saying that he is a Pastor but actually he was not. In another incident Pastor had two wives and still organizing church programs. In order to prevent this type of bad system happening in the churches we want to know more about the life and call of the Pastor and leader. But we are encouraging the Pastors to go through the qualifications process of Pastors, Deacons and elders from the Bible but to do this they need to come to the Bible School. Please pray for the Pastors of Nepal. 

But in Gelu itself, there was an eighty four year old man who wanted desperately to be baptized. There was not enough running water, so we look for big pot where we can baptize him. There was no bus that time to take him to the river which was two hour in Bus. Water will be everywhere in rainy season but it is not practical for us to come to this village from Kathmandu just to baptise him. And it was a health problem for him to baptize him in cold water because of his age. He asked me so many questions like who would bury me after I die because there was no ordain pastor. Who would organize marriage ceremony, child dedications, baptism, lord supper, funeral, adultery case, church division case and so many other questions. This old man was a community president and he has a very large relative group but at the age of 84 he felt the need of Jesus in his life. For healthy people it is just an hour distance to his house from the church, but he walked 6 hours to reach where we were to ask so many questions and for baptism. We didn't know this before. So we leaders decided to pour warm water from his head and baptized him. This was the first time we ever did pouring water for baptism. I was not so willing but I did it in the middle of many questions. Please tell me did I do right? Or wrong. 

We also met the boy who was raised from the dead, his name is Kedar. I interviewed him and his mother what has happen. I have put that video in YouTube also. He was unconscious for more than 48 hours. So they heard that if someone who is Christian can pray then their boy would be healed. So after a prayer of eloquent believer boy began to move and eat. Kedar family accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior. There is more in video. 

There was film show in show in Gelu and many people even from far came to watch Jesus Film. Mostly they were women who were interested to know more about Jesus. There were also film show program in Katari, and Remote Mountain in Udaipur and in Pathari. So people are hearing the gospel in all around Nepal. Thank you for your partnership in the gospel.
 
There was a new girl married and brought to this village in Gelu. When demon comes to her she began to perform the act of Kali and Durga, Hindu goddess. Two to three time demons used to come on her body and she becomes uncontrollable, beating people, biting people, throwing every things that comes in her ways. Her husband was very concern for her because they were newly married. When they hear that if they prayed she would be ok. Her name is Sarita please pray for her complete recovery. 

So because of miracle, healing, and gospel program five people accepted Jesus Christ in Gelu in Ramechap. Your prayer and support are really appreciated. Thank you for becoming a partner with us. 


Sports Ministry and Club participation
I have been contributing my time and money for the sports ministry. I have led many youth to Jesus Christ through the medium of sport. Some time I do not feel like going after sports, but this is the only ministry in my life that has brought many young people to the Lord. It has given me exposure to the outside world which has made me so easy to tell others about Jesus Christ. Many people in the sporting field know me as a ambassador to the sports world. So please pray for our Church Boys football team which is participating in football game in Kathmandu. I do regularly share the gospel to them. 

Bible School in JuneWe are planning to have Bible School in June. Please pray for the sufficient fund for food, T-shirt, computer things and others. Thank you for being a part of the leadership development program in Nepal. Please wrap some Bibles and send to us so that student can use it to find Bible verses and stories. 

Computer training for PastorsWe also need some Laptops, new and used ones, no problem. But it should work properly. We would like to teach our Pastors how to read and write emails. 

Thank you so much for your prayer and support. All the reports of ministry you hear from us is because of your prayer and support. 
Your brother and Partner in Nepal
Reuben

I want you to do one thing in this report. I made this report in my busy schedule. There may be many mistakes so please comment me if there is anything to correct. 
Thank you so much. 

Ministry of Sports, Bible College, Film Ministry and Tibet Prayer Walk and others

My Dear Friend

It is always a joy for me to come with ministry report. 2011 is almost over. The days are going so quick and we are becoming older and older. But there are lots of things to do for the gospel. I was trying to make this report on time but I couldn't, because of the involvement in sports ministry, Bible college preparation and film show ministry, I had to always postponed this. But here I come with the reports. Thank you for your prayer and financial support  for the work of ministry in Nepal. We are glad to work together, without your prayer and support we could not have done all this. So let us glorify God together. Let us not forget that it is God who strengthened us to do all these. This report is going to be long but I want you to go through the bottom. It takes not more than ten minute to go to the bottom of it. There are so many things here. They are more than gold. This is not only the words, this is something that really happened in Nepal and you made this possible.

God saved us

Traveling in rain is always difficult. Santa and I were going to east Nepal for football tournament because Church Boys was participating in prestigious game in Jahada in east Nepal. In the middle of our way in the jungle, we got accident. We were running fast and suddenly we hit the hole in the road and we were out of the motor bike. It was danger accident, motorbike was destroyed but nothing happen to our body. This was miracle. For some time I could not think what had happen. But God protected us. We went to nearby town and repair our motorbike, Rita sent us money from Kathmandu because we did not had money in our pocket, we paid the service bill and we went off again. All my body was paining the next day but I was still riding the bike for 8 hours again. God gave us strength in all situations. I can do every things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. Thank be to God. I am happy to be alive. Your prayer really worked.

Bible Distribution in Sports Events

There were two biggest soccer games in summer. One was in Jahada and another was in Surunga. In both games, we distributed nearly ten thousand gospel tracts and many copies of Holy Bibles. We play football and share God's love around Nepal. Sports have helped us carry the gospel than any other programs in Nepal. We continue to need gospel tracts and Bibles. Thanks to all who donated bibles and tracts.

Bible College in October November

Thanks to all who prayed for Bible School. There were 12 students and they learn about evangelism, church planting, discipleship, history of church in Nepal and most importantly they also learned how to write emails and make blog. I get emails from my students that they say that we are the only leaders in Nepal that teach others on how to write emails. They say they learn so many things and they were lucky to be chosen in the Bible College. Our leaders who are trained in Bible College are spread all over Nepal and doing awesome work for God. Sick are healed, demons possessed are freed, and people are hearing the gospel and asking Jesus to be their Lord and Savior.

Students Ministry in Nepal

We added one more ministry in 2011. Students ministry in Nepal. We were praying for some time and God show us that this is the time. We believe that school is the strategic place to spread the gospel in Nepal. If we just use school students to carry out the gospel there is going to be a huge possibility of reaching the families for Jesus. Do you believe this? Shanti Lama is the in charge of the students ministry in Nepal. With this ministry we will equip Christian students

1. to reach their friends for Jesus,  
2. organize students conference.
3. record the data of students,
4. find out needy students who need support. In near future we will be organizing Students Conference and we need prayer for this.

Film Ministry in Nepal Tibet border

After long prayer and preparation for film ministry in Nepal Tibet Border Mountain, we really did headed to film showing site. We took two reserved Jeep with equipment. We were all glad to do ministry for Jesus. We purchased most of the food items from Kathmandu.

Film Show in Nagpuge, It was small school volleyball ground with some steps up. People really enjoyed film. There were some people who were drinking alcohol in nearby small groceries shop and they were not interested at all. But as we began to show film they left their drink and came to watch what Jesus had to say in the film. That was good. People walked about one hour to get to the film. Our local disciples gave away gospel tracts to the people as they went back home. It was near the river and cool air blowing at night. But people watched until the end. Praise God. People are hearing the gospel because of your support.

Film Show in Phaltuk, One morning after breakfast, we hiked to Phaltuk. As we walked through the mountain and jungle, we saw beautiful scenery of the Himalaya and the surrounding mountains and villages. We took a break, prayed, and enjoyed God's creation. We are happy that God is taking us to new places for spreading the gospel. One that same day, we asked permission with a house there and set up film show in threshing floor which kept space for everyone. It was shivering chilly cold night up in that mountain but everyone watched Good News and the Passion of the Christ in Nepali with patience, including small children. It was almost eleven pm when we finish dinner. Nepali people in the mountain go to bed early as 7PM in the night. But on that day they made it. We stayed at Tamang's house. He was the only Christian in that village and he said that he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal lord and savior just 5 month ago. He said his house has become a haunting house and usually sense spirit and ghost moving in his house. He even showed us scratches of nail in the wall which was very new to me. I had never seen such thing in my life. But I can't ignore because Bible clearly says that Jesus cast out demons. We together prayed for his house and cleanse it in the name of the Lord. I used all the deliverance versus from the Bible and walked around the house and prayed for it. Since then peace has been reigning in his house. Many people who come to Jesus in Nepal is the result of healing from sickness and deliverance from demon possession.

Film show in Dhan Kumar House, Some time you have to make a special request for people to come and listen to your gospel message. This is 100% true. In Dhan Kumar house, we were invited to show evangelistic film and many people in that village just came without announcement. We presented Nepali evangelistic films and gave away gospel tracts. The seed of the gospel message has been spreading to all the places. Let us pray that these seeds will bring more fruits. Thank you for making this outreach possible. This all happen because of your prayer and support. Your support has made us go around Nepal and share the gospel of Jesus Christ who have never heard the gospel.

Bible Distribution, where ever we went with the film, we always want to bless disciples with the Holy Bibles. They ask nothing but the Bibles. They say do you have Bibles? Can you give us a copy of Bible because she/he do not one. Bible is the weapon for the disciple who do not have any leader to tell them what to do next when someone become sick. Do you believe this? People do not have any one to tell them about Jesus. No gospel tract, no Bible, no TVs, no radios, still people seek Jesus. They want him. They walk miles away to find a Church or a believer. People are seeking Jesus when no one is telling them. They just hear that if they pray to Jesus people will get heal. That had caused many to accept Jesus.

Prayer walk in Tibet, It was our long time wish and plan to stay in Tibet. We did that this time. We walked throughout the Tibet land and street and prayed for each house we crossed by. During the night time every one of us prayed for Tibet and for disciples serving God in that land. Disciples in Tibet really need your prayer.

Christ's disciples in Tibet are going through so many type of test. It is really challenging to keep their faith alive. They can't get together in large number. They are not allowed to keep Bibles in their local language. Authorities come and stay in your prayer group, and ask questions, like when will you be gathering and in whose house? When they attend your service you can't proceed as you plan. This way it is very hard to guide a new disciple to mature faith in teaching him the basic teaching of Christ. We went to small house gathering and they said that we are the first group to visit them in two years. That means no body has gone to this small group for two years to give fellowship to them and to pray for each other. So we really need to pray for disciples in Tibet and pray that they will not lose their faith and zeal for the lord. If you can't water the plant, it will dry out soon. Caring for each other and praying for each other is the heart of Christian growth. Church of America should never say we have no need of Church in Tibet or Nepal. We need each other and we should serve one another.

New Souls

Here are some new souls reports from our leaders.

• Pratap from Ramechap reports that 4 new persons accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior.
• Purna Kumar told 4 new people accepted Jesus Christ in Dasami.
• Khamba Sing led Ramesh, Lalit, Ramshari and her daughter in-law Sukmaya, (4 souls) to Jesus.
• Pratap from Makwanpur emailed me saying that two accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and savior.
• Sukraman from Makwanpur told two people gave their life to Jesus. 

These are the reports for this hours so far. You might want to consider what we are praying for and our need. We work together as a partner and lift each other as a team. I am just worried about the text here. My English is not so good. And I fear that if my photos in this email is coming through. Some time there is huge space between text and photos.

Orphanage work in Urlabari

We are resuming orphanage work from 26 December. I will be updating news and photos from the construction site. I want to emphasis that any one who is willing can join with us to help make this dream come true.  Our orphans are waiting for the night to sleep in their bed in their room. FYI, these are the needs of the orphanage,

1. Brick,
2. Sand,
3. Iron rod,
4. Stone, 
5. Labor charge,
6. Other materials. We have 8 orphans and they are scattered. Once house is complete we will bring them all in.

School in Dungdunge

I believe that every responsible Christian should serve God, work for family, help church and volunteer in nation's development. We felt that we as a responsible citizen, we have responsibility towards our community who are poor and needs our help. Here I want to point out on School. We would like to build school as soon as possible so that children of 6 years and above need not to cross river and walk two hour to get to the school. But there is one biggest hindrance. People in this village are poor and they themselves can't build school, neither a bridge in the river. They are looking for generous people and communities who can partner with the school to build and run it. Any one is widely welcomed.  We are voluntarily working in School and you can join with us, even right now. Let us stand together for social change and bring light of education in the dark heart of the disadvantaged, with God's love. For more please go to School in Dungdunge. Let us build this School in Dungdunge for the benefit of little children. 

Thank you so much for your prayer. Our source of encouragement comes from your email, no matter how short is that email, it still uplifts me. We wish you the MERRY CHRISTMAS if you do celebrate. May Joy and Peace fill your house.

July/August Ministry Report 2011 from Nepal

Dear Friends
I am honored and thankful to everyone who prayed for me and for my ministry. In July and August, I stayed in Kathmandu with my wife and children. I spent my time my time reading books, Thompson chain reference Bible. I taught my wife and Children how to write email. I took them to the supermarket and they were so glad because children chose what they like.
I spend time praying for you and giving thanks to God for you. I visited my disciples, prayed for them, cast out demons and healed the sick. A man was miraculously delivered from a demon attack. His wife and children were terrified and afraid to stay with him. Now they are happy he is quite normal and going for a job.
I played with the children of the Church in Sunday school and the children loved me. I bought them sweets and the donuts and they were happy. I made phone calls to my leaders in the village and encouraged them in their service to the Lord. Every one desired to have a teaching conference in their place for their disciples. I really enjoyed being in home with my family in this summer. Resting is really fun.
10000 tracts were printed; we printed ten thousand tracts. But these 10,000 tracts are booked. My pastors and local evangelist have asked me for these tracts. Now gospel is being preached in every corner of Nepal. We can't go to all the places but these tracts will help us to show God's love to them. With just your 200 US dollar we can print 10000 gospel tracts. We do not have money for printing. We would like to print more gospel tracts but we just don't have money.
Sports ministry tour, we are going to make a sports ministry tour beginning from 22 September. We would be out of Kathmandu for nearly three weeks for friendly games and participating in sport events. During our play, our team and our volunteers will distribute tracts. We need 20,000 thousand gospel tracts (400 US $) immediately. We want to see many people come to know the Lord. We would like to do evangelism but we need the resources. God will give this land to us if we really go out and preach.
New converts, 16 people accepted Jesus in our ministry in July and August in Nepal. We could not do much more, but we give thanks to the Lord for these precious new souls.
Bad News, One student of class 9 died in River; there is also sad news with this report. One brother who was studying in Class 9 was drawn in River while attempting to Cross the river. His body was found nearly 5 miles away from the drown spot. If we do not build school soon and run it, it can happen any time. I have some more news about  how children are going to School below.
Orphanage Building, we went to build the orphanage but there was continues rain which disturbed us working on the field. We put dirt and flatten the ground for digging foundation but no avail. We tried to dig the hole for water pomp but it did not work. There was continues rain so we had to abandoned the work. But I want to thank you all for your sincere prayer. We shall resume the work from October. Please pray for this project since we need to trust God for every single Rupee. There is some project which demand team work and this orphanage project is one of them. We have 7 orphans that we should care for. Some need finances to continually go to School. We want to build this orphanage home as soon as possible so that we can bring these orphans in. Please remember this special project in your prayer and ask others to pray for this topic.
School in Dung Dunge.
There is no school in Dung Dunge, so children need to cross river and walk two hours to get to the school. When they come back home they are hungry, exhausted and tired. It is very difficult for little child of 6 years of age to walk two hours and cross the river. We are building school so that they don't have to suffer like this. Our children need education. They are poor and they can't afford to go to some expensive private school in the city. Dung Dunge is my native place and I want to see Children go to School in that village. Let us make this dream possible. I don't want their life to be dark. Every night children study under the kerosene lamp. There is no electricity, no market, no transport. They live under daily basic need. There are more than fifty children that need school. I met children and asked them what you would like to become, one said 'I want to become a doctor' other said 'I want to become an engineer'. Every child has a dream. But they don't know what A B C D is? We together can start the school and change the destiny of these children. Click on this child photo and it shall lead you to the group of Children who need School.
Let us see how children go to School in Dung Dunge.
# Scene One, First of all, all students gather at the bank of the river. Wait until senior student has come. Remove your shirts and pants. Put them into a plastic bag. Make sure that water does not leak inside. Collect all of your books into one plastic bag and tie it safe.
# Scene Two, Filled up air in Wheel's Tube. There is no electric air filler. So you have to use your mouth to bubble it. Every one should try because one person air (breath) is not enough.
# Scene Three, Collect all your shoes into one rope. You can't attempt to cross overwhelming river with your shoes on in your feet. You must take them off. Sew it like you make a garland.
# Scene Four, Put the little ones in the middle of the Tube for safety and others, just hold around on to the rope that is connected with the Tube.
# Scene Five, Now the experienced student goes first with the bag that have books and clothes. Now have to look very carefully as he makes the water trek. Now Tube team, follow the same route in order to avoid deep and powerful current.
# Scene Six, Now in the deep, be very careful, because with just one Tube 12 students have to cross it, and one's little mistake can lead every one's life in danger. All those with the tube should be balanced when they are in the center of the river.
Thank you for reading the Nepal report. God bless you. I wait to hear from you.
Please remember me and my family and my Pastors and leaders in your prayer. God is doing many wonderful things around us.
Once again, thank you for your prayer.
May your trouble be less, and blessing be more.
May nothing but happiness come through your door
Your brother in Christ
