7 weeks in Nepal have absolutely flown by as our team has kept busy doing village evangelism, door to doors and open airs, teaching children's programs and leading house fellowships with new believers. These last two weeks in Nepal we have been working with King's Kids (a minstry of YWAM) in Kathmandu. We have gone out multiple times a week to talk to street kids and prostitutes. The ministry was very challenging - we saw a drunk 6 year old, two street fights, and 10 year olds sniffing glue. But we can really see God moving through the King'sKids team. The street kids come running up to them, so hungry for the love and kindness they are shown. I was able to share my testimony with a 15 year old girl who sells her body for food. She would barely look me in the eyes as we talked, and I felt God wanted me to tell her that He does not see her as dirty. He sees her pure, and lovely and innocent. I looked her in the eyes as I shared, and tears started welling up in her eyes. It is not so easy for these kids to get out of the streets, and often they have been there so long they don't want to leave. But even the toughest of hearts are being softened by the unconditional and relentless love ofJesus.
Another highlight from ministry in these last two weeks was an open air we did in Ratna Park. This park is in the worst area ofKathmandu and is the place that men come to find prostitutes (at all hours of the day). Last Friday we did an open air gospel presentation. Our Nepali YWAMers (the King's Kids team) did a skit we taught them and then our team did two dramas. Two of our DTS students shared testimonies and one student bravely preached the gospel. Over 300 men surrounded us to listen. After the students spoke I got up and shared what I felt God wanted to say to these men. One man was crying. I urged them to make a decision to follow Jesus, to give their lives to Him in exchange for His forgiveness and new life. As we finished I said "if you want to knowmore, or want prayer or want to make that decision today please stay, otherwise we are finished" (please leave basically). Nobody moved. Literally all the men who heard and watched stayed to find out more. We broke up into smaller groups and continued to share the gospel with these men. God's spirit was moving so powerfully and even though most of those men had come to the park with wrong intentions, they listened to us genuinely and intently. We felt God's presence and protection so strongly that day.
On Tuesday we are off to Bangkok!
