Ministry has been amazing!! I have so many stories to share but will have to just narrow it down for time's sake! :) My favorite day of ministry so far was during week 2. We hiked 2.5 hours up a mountain outside of the city of Pokhara to a remote village. We stopped at a house and the whole family was there. We handed them gospel tracts and started to share a bit about Jesus. They had never heard of him. I got to share the gospel to all 8 of them, shared about what the Bible is and told a testimony from my life. The family was so open and listened very intently. After we shared, they invited us to stay and have tea with them. We laughed and bonded with them meanwhile a 12 year old boy sat next to me. He asked if I had a Bible. I gave him the new testament. He started reading it immediately. I got to share about what it means to be sons and daughters of God through belief in Jesus (john 1). He was so hungry to hear it. He asked more questions about the Bible and Jesus, including the question "If I follow Jesus will I still be able to celebrate Desai?" (The biggest Hindu holiday here) I told him "no, you won't, but you will get to have a relationship with God and hear Him speak to you directly." His eyes widened. He even asked if we could stay the night to share more. Sadly we couldn't. We stayed a while longer, prayed for them and said our good-byes. Pray for Sazin and his family to come to know Jesus through the New Testament! and for the local believers to be able to do follow up in this village.
More news to come!!!
