First days in Nepal

A team of four people (Pastor Pavel, Kristina, Vova, and Natasha) flew from Moscow on Thursday evening, November 29th, for their trip to India and Nepal.  Upon their safe arrival in Nepal, they were warmly met by the missionaries serving there.

They went to a church service in Kathmandu on Saturday morning where they shared in worshiping the Lord together with the believers there.  Vova, Kristina, and Natasha went with over 70 children of various ages to a Sunday School class, and Pastor Pavel preached in the main service.

Over lunch at the local pastor's house, he told them how he had come to know the Lord and how his relatives rejected him because of his faith.  Now he and his wife have three children of their own and are caring for 59 children in an orphanage.

They visited another church that evening where they had supper with the church family around a fire in the courtyard, as it is chilly in the evenings there now.  Then they joined in the service, which lasted till after dark.

Saturday is a day off, and the day God's children meet for worship in Nepal.  Sunday is a regular work day, so the team went to an orphanage that day.  The children there are well cared for and taught the Word of God.  The team and children split into two groups and had separate programs for the boys and girls.  There were games and songs, and the children listened to the story of Daniel and learned about living faithfully for God.  These children are the future of Nepal, and as they grow in God's love, they will have the opportunity to be a great influence on spiritual awakening in their country.

After lunch, the team met with over 80 young people for fellowship.  Their topic of discussion was purity and holiness in life, and how to live a life pleasing to God.  Praise the Lord that there are Christian young people in Nepal with a passion to live for God!  This means there is a future for this country.
