March April 2010


Dear Supporters,   Thank you so much for your precious prayer and support. I bring you our March and April ministry reports. Please read and enjoy and write to me your thought. I appreciate that. Once again thank you for all you have done for us. http://www.ourchurch.com/member/n/nepalchurch/index.php?p=1_1
Sports Ministry: Nandu has accepted Jesus as his personal lord and savior. He is a students and a football player. We shared with him the gospel and he accepted Jesus. But his father, who is local village leader, is against the Christians. Nandu is staying with me right now in Kathmandu but he need to go back to his house some time later. Please pray that he will continue to grow in the Lord. Your prayer and support is helping us reach many people in Nepal. Please pray that we would be able to reach many athletes for Jesus, like Nandu.

Soccer Training: We have begun soccer training in May and it will continue until we participate in national football league. Purpose of this training is to reach in the 1st Division category and be the mouth of the Christians in Nepal. Soccer training is a part of our sports ministry. We would like to reach every town and cities to play football friendly with local football team and thus preach the gospel. With this football team we would like to capture all the Medias so that everyone would hear the name of Jesus. Pray that all of our players will have boldness to witness about Jesus to their fellow Easter players.
During the world cup 2010 South Africa, we are planning to organize evangelistic programs and give away gospel tracts. We are planning to show live TV programs of the world cup matches using projector. Please help us do this.  

Easter Celebration: Christians in Kathmandu used resurrection day of our Lord to proclaim the risen savior. Every year rally is being organized and more and more churches are joining and numbers of Christian are growing every year. I believe this is the result of preaching the gospel. People will only know Jesus Christ if we tell them. During this Easter rally some Hindu priests also join with us and talked with us about Jesus. We told them that 'Jesus Christ died but never remained in grave, He rose again in the third day. Jesus is only the savior of the World.' In Hinduism no God died for humanity. Difference between Hinduism and Christianity is that in Hinduism god came down to punish the sinners but in Christianity Jesus came to save sinners. Priests were surprised.  
Bible School: One month long School of Evangelism and Church Planting were organized in Kathmandu, Nepal. There were 17 Students who learned about Evangelism, Christian Life, Discipleship, Church Planting, ministries of the Holy Spirit and other vital subjects with much enthusiasm. It is really a privilege for us to partner together to develop many leaders for the work of God in Nepal. Webible school would like to say thank you so much for helping us. We pray that God will open even more doors for us in many facets to spread the gospel in Nepal. Training people to do God's work is one of the effective mediums to send the laborers to the harvest. The more laborers the greater harvest will be. Let us remember that harvest is ripe and the second coming of Jesus Christ could be any day. Let us prepare ourselves for we do not know when our Master comes.  

Sleeping Bags: We were also able to distribute sleeping bags to the evangelists and pastors. When our evangelists travel they don't usually get hotel to stay, they need to stay wherever they reach, some time it could be isolated house, some time it is remote village. It is unpractical to carry the mattresses. So the sleeping bag is the suitable means. There are many needs of the evangelists and workers but this is of worth providing it. 
Sleeping Bag
Prayer Walk: We had a prayer walk with the Bible School students around the parliament house and presidents palace. I think we need to pray for Nepal. Nepal always suffers strikes, often changes government, which is a hindrance to the development of the country. It has just been recovering from civil war. We love the people and want to see them saved.

Prison Ministry: We visited Prisoners and share God's love by giving some foods, juice, soaps and others. But, we can't take photos there; we cannot even carry cell phone. We are planning to organize sports activities inside prison that will help us to show God's love to them. We are in talks with authorities. Please pray that God will show us what to do. We can do this if God wills.

Basic ClassRequest for Bibles: We have received request for Nepali Bibles from around the world. Nepali people working in foreign countries and other foreigner are also requesting us Bible. We would like to send them Bible but we face problem of postage. We received request from closed countries like, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, China and other. Please help us purchase Bibles and help us deliver the Bibles there. Some people have plenty of Bibles but other face famine of the word of God. Let us remember them.
 
Prayer:
  • Gospel Tracts: We need 20000 gospel tracts and its printing price is 300 US dollar. Please kindly pray for this.
  • Projector: Please pray for the projector so that we could use it in sports evangelism. The price of the projector is 700 US dollar.
  • Bibles: We need Bibles.
Thank you for your prayer. Your emails are very encouraging. We want to assure you that all of us here are laboring so hard for the gospel. Every day we pray for you and say to God that long live our partnership.
