So we have finally made it. After 3 months of preparation and prayer our journey throughout Nepal has begun. Today is our 1 week anniversary and God has already shown up in big ways...
We started with great worship and prayer our first 2 days. Listening to the voice of God and trying to construct a plan for the next 3 months. Though we each got pictures and words which helped in piecing together a plan, we began to understand that this time was going to be planned week by week. We have each had to learn already that God wants us to focus on TODAY because each day is another chance for encounter and breakthrough.
Then came our first day out in the city. We all agreed that it was important to start this time off with prayer so we ventured to a Buddhist temple overlooking Katmandu and began to worship Jesus! Such an amazing moment for all of us. In fact it was on the stairs up to the temple that I saw my first healing. Praying for a young 9 year-old girl who had been blind for 4 years, her sight began to get better. Though it was only a partial healing, we could tell by her sudden smile that the love of Jesus had truly encountered her. This was the first of many healings we are expecting to see here. It was a few days later that the greatest miracle of all happened. We split into team of about 4 and went into the city again. looking for divine appointments. My team ended up in a square surrounded by temples and began talking with several people. It was at this moment that a mother of 3 sat down and met Jesus. Fast forward 20 minutes and this beautiful Nepali woman was accepting Jesus into her heart. What an amazing moment for us. All I could think was.."Wow, THIS is the purpose of our lives. This is IT!"
We are so excited for what the next 10 weeks are holding. This coming week is a hindu festival in which all the people go back into their home villages. But after its over we are hoping to get to start our first trek into the unreached villages around this nation! Please pray for increased faith, power, favor, and LOVE for Jesus and for the people of this nation! God is moving and it is such a privilege to get to be a part of His work!
We are all going great. A few have been a little sick, but God is so good and so faithful to us! I love you guys and can't wait to update you more on all God is doing!
