Hey everyone 🙂 I am so sorry it has taken so long for an
update we do not have internet at all this month as we serve at village in
Kathmandu, Nepal. It is very beautiful here snow-capped mountains on all sides
surround us. I will be updating
about our time in Nepal later on this month, but to just give you a heads up on
what to be praying for for us we will be doing many house visits this month to
Hindu families. We have also visited a leopard colony and spent time sharing
the gospel and praying for the sick.
There are many leopard colonies around here that we will be visiting
please be praying that the Lord will use us in a powerful way. It is very dark
here in the spiritual realm there are many witches that they call jugglers
around this area. Many politicians
and leaders come to visit these jugglers for their futures to be told and for
decisions to be made. Please pray
for protections as most my team including myself have been attacked with our
health already. There is heavy spiritual warfare here as 90% of Nepal is Hindu
and under 1% is Christian. Our whole team feels that spiritually this place is
very dark and heavy. We start
everyday in worship and in prayer on our rooftop over the city and there have
been some powerful moments.
I wanted to update about the end of our time in India on
this blog. Our last week in India
we spent at Valore, which is a city known for a famous hospital called
Christian medical College. The
week that we spent in Valore we were preparing for a crusade that was taking
place at the end of the week. The
crusade estimated to have over 50,000 people. During our time there we went to many local villages. We would hand out tracks promoting the
crusade and many times we would speak at the local churches. We had a day of children’s ministry and
we also visited the CMC hospital and prayed over some of the sick. One lady we
prayed for had throat cancer and could not drink any liquid. My teammate and I
really felt the Holy Spirit when we prayed over her and she took some liquid
and drank it down. Praise God! Our
team is very anxious to walk into what the Lord has called us to, and we hope
to see Him work in a powerful way this month in Nepal. That week in Valor we
really prayed over the ground of the crusade and we even hiked a mountain and
prayed over the city. We had to
leave before the crusade started, but we had a chance to meet Randy Clark and
his team who were behind it. Our team had a chance to hear Randy speak and he
gave a whole message on the Holy Spirit, which was just what my team needed to
hear. Several of them have not experienced the Holy Spirit in their walks so it
was a great time hearing Randy. He also shared that these Hindu’s are hard to
share the Gospel with and that in most cases they need signs and wonders from the
Lord to believe. Please pray that my team and I can start moving in God’s power
we are desperate to see Him move through us in a powerful way. Last month one
of the other teams saw many healings and deliverances and I know that is just
the beginning for our whole squad.
This month I have preached many times. The Lord has been showing me many new
things in His Word and through other books and messages that I have listened
to. It seems like the more
revelation He gives me the more I feel I do not know anythingJ. Please continue to pray that I will
speak His messages with boldness and that His power would fall. Please also
pray for my teammates to find their voices in the Lord and to speak with
boldness.
This is at a church called Comfort Jesus Church. The father of brothers Paul David and Paul Israel is the Pastor here and it was an honor to be able to preach
