Our teams got back together after MANistry month. Our first trip was to central Nepal to a district called Chitwan. We settled in at a local church and our ministry was going to houses to share the gospel and prayer. I didn’t capture much of our ministry on camera because I needed to stay present and we were all crowed in one room.
We met some incredible people.
We met a guy, a little older than I am, who has epilepsy since his teenage years. He had to drop out of school because it wasnt able to control it. He didn’t speak much but he seemed to have a strong heart.
On our off day, we thought we would be giving an elephant a bath but it gave us a bath! There was a huge food festival going on the same day!
Here’s an exciting video for what happened!!
After a week back in Kathmandu, we had another day off. My teammates Will and Abby saw an advertisement that there was an outdoor festival going on right outside the Kathmandu area. So we woke up at 5am and got in a taxi to take us to the bus stop. The bus was 45 minutes late but once we got on, we saw europeans! This comfort us because we knew we were heading to the right place when we asked around.
Once we got to the end of the line, where the bus stops, we took a long hike up a mountain to where the festival was being held.
We got in line to run the 20K! Now 20K is around 12.6 miles! A few moments before we started a women told us it was actually 20K +…which means it’s an extra 4 or 5k!
An extra 3 miles!! About 16 miles!!! That’s insane!!! We didn’t know what was coming though. We ran up and down 5 peaks! The total elevation change was 5,600ft!
5 minutes into our run, we started walking.
It was mostly up mountains and half of it was stone stairs.
Anyways I tried to create a “Vlog” with my phone. It ended up dying before I finished.
But here’s the video!! Hope you enjoy!(:
Our latest ministry has been construction.
We torn down a small tin building and it’s foundation so that the pastor can build a new foundation and build a 4 story building that will turn into a church.
It took us about 2 weeks. After the first week, 7 of us got sick. Fevers, coughing, headaches, and diarrhea. We were still able to complete our task with those who went to deconstruct. Those who were/are sick are getting better.
Pastor David isn’t able to afford workers so lucky God provided us to work for him.
He has only raised $8,000 and he needs to raise $40,000 more.
If you would like more information for prayer or even interested in helping out in donations, please comment below or contact me through any social media.
Here is a video of the beginning and the end of the the whole process. Some of us may look a little aggressive at the beginning. It’s was a lot of fun breaking down the building.
We leave Nepal in 5 days!!! So sad but so ready! We have a 16 hour plan ride to Chicago and have a 12 hour layover. AMERICAN FOOD!!!
We then make a journey to Nicaragua!
