A little info about the ministry we’re working with:Nepali Youth Ministry. A man has a vision to raise up the youth of Nepal to take care of Nepal and revolutionize it. He told us stories that broke our hearts. One pastor beat a man to death because he thought he needed to beat a demon out. Families in villages sell their daughters or granddaughters into prostitution. Girls are beaten to death because they refuse to have sex. Some places still do human sacrifice. It’s out of control! Check out their site: http://nepaliyouthministries.com/?m=201005
They’ve got incredible hearts and our translator this month is a part of the ministry and her heart is so devoted and awesome. It’s easy to be inspired by them.
Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts that have definitely been an encouragement.
Love you!
