We are heading back to our earthly homes (Hebrews 13:14). I have met with Megh and Pastor Tej and we have prayerfully planned together. God continues to be on the move here and continues to move in us. We are excited about the future of Mission: Nepal, which includes:

The building of a church at Dharmasala in the Mid-West district of Rolpa. More than US$9,000 is needed to begin construction.

Trekking in (and out of) the Far West district of Humla in September with a visit to the church at Simikot.

The “passion and vision” Megh has for a new church plant insongs we had not heard in the mountains. Pastor Tej warmly welcomed us and prayed for Climbing For Christ. His brother Karna preached today, focusing on the story of Zacchaeus and how we all should desire to come down from our ‘trees’ and meet Jesus.”

Wherever we were worshiping in Nepal’s Central Region – Dhading or Kathmandu – it was a blessed day for our team. To God alone be the glory!

Friday, May 12

Megh delivered us to his home village, where – in 1991 – he became the first Christian in this part of the Dhading district about 100 miles northwest of Kathmandu. Today there are five churches in the area, three of which Climbing For Christ helped rebuild after the devastating 2015 earthquake.
